Consensus: Utils

This role provides a library of tasks that can be shared between roles.

Usage

In your role, include the task file desired. Right now the only task available ensures the creation of bind mounts; more may be added in future.

See also example playbook below.

Bind Mounts

Use the bind-mounts.yml tasks to create bind mounts on the target server.

To configure this task, populate the bind_mounts list variable. The format is:

bind_mounts:
  '/target/path':
    src: '/source/path'
    owner: someuser
    group: somegroup
  ...

For each item in the list, the task will:

1. Ensure any existing data in the target path is copied into the source path before bind mount creation.
1. Ensure a bind mount from the source path is created at the target path.
1. Ensure group and user ownership for the bind mount.

Note: for each bind mount, all 4 configuration elements (source, target, owner and group) are required.

Example Playbook

  tasks:
  - name: Create bind mounts.
    include_role:
      name: consensus.utils
      tasks_from: bind-mounts.yml
    vars:
      bind_mounts:
        '/var/aegir':
          src: '/opt/var/aegir'
          owner: aegir
          group: aegir
        '/var/aegir/backups':
          src: '/opt/var/aegir/backups'
          owner: aegir
          group: aegir
        '/var/lib/mysql':
          src: '/opt/var/lib/mysql'

Dependencies
