module: synchronize
version_added: "1.4"
short_description: A wrapper around rsync to make common tasks in your playbooks quick and easy
description:
- C(synchronize) is a wrapper around rsync to make common tasks in your playbooks quick and easy.
- It is run and originates on the local host where Ansible is being run.
- Of course, you could just use the C(command) action to call rsync yourself, but you also have to add a fair number of
boilerplate options and host facts.
- This module is not intended to provide access to the full power of rsync, but does make the most common
invocations easier to implement. You `still` may need to call rsync directly via C(command) or C(shell) depending on your use case.
options:
src:
description:
- Path on the source host that will be synchronized to the destination.
- The path can be absolute or relative.
type: str
required: true
dest:
description:
- Path on the destination host that will be synchronized from the source.
- The path can be absolute or relative.
type: str
required: true
dest_port:
description:
- Port number for ssh on the destination host.
- Prior to Ansible 2.0, the ansible_ssh_port inventory var took precedence over this value.
- This parameter defaults to the value of C(ansible_ssh_port) or C(ansible_port),
the C(remote_port) config setting or the value from ssh client configuration
if none of the former have been set.
type: int
version_added: "1.5"
mode:
description:
- Specify the direction of the synchronization.
- In push mode the localhost or delegate is the source.
- In pull mode the remote host in context is the source.
type: str
choices: [ pull, push ]
default: push
archive:
description:
- Mirrors the rsync archive flag, enables recursive, links, perms, times, owner, group flags and -D.
type: bool
default: yes
checksum:
description:
- Skip based on checksum, rather than mod-time & size; Note that that "archive" option is still enabled by default - the "checksum" option will
not disable it.
type: bool
default: no
version_added: "1.6"
compress:
description:
- Compress file data during the transfer.
- In most cases, leave this enabled unless it causes problems.
type: bool
default: yes
version_added: "1.7"
existing_only:
description:
- Skip creating new files on receiver.
type: bool
default: no
version_added: "1.5"
delete:
description:
- Delete files in C(dest) that don't exist (after transfer, not before) in the C(src) path.
- This option requires C(recursive=yes).
- This option ignores excluded files and behaves like the rsync opt --delete-excluded.
type: bool
default: no
dirs:
description:
- Transfer directories without recursing.
type: bool
default: no
recursive:
description:
- Recurse into directories.
- This parameter defaults to the value of the archive option.
type: bool
links:
description:
- Copy symlinks as symlinks.
- This parameter defaults to the value of the archive option.
type: bool
copy_links:
description:
- Copy symlinks as the item that they point to (the referent) is copied, rather than the symlink.
type: bool
default: no
perms:
description:
- Preserve permissions.
- This parameter defaults to the value of the archive option.
type: bool
times:
description:
- Preserve modification times.
- This parameter defaults to the value of the archive option.
type: bool
owner:
description:
- Preserve owner (super user only).
- This parameter defaults to the value of the archive option.
type: bool
group:
description:
- Preserve group.
- This parameter defaults to the value of the archive option.
type: bool
rsync_path:
description:
- Specify the rsync command to run on the remote host. See C(--rsync-path) on the rsync man page.
- To specify the rsync command to run on the local host, you need to set this your task var C(ansible_rsync_path).
type: str
rsync_timeout:
description:
- Specify a C(--timeout) for the rsync command in seconds.
type: int
default: 0
set_remote_user:
description:
- Put user@ for the remote paths.
- If you have a custom ssh config to define the remote user for a host
that does not match the inventory user, you should set this parameter to C(no).
type: bool
default: yes
use_ssh_args:
description:
- Use the ssh_args specified in ansible.cfg.
type: bool
default: no
version_added: "2.0"
rsync_opts:
description:
- Specify additional rsync options by passing in an array.
- Note that an empty string in C(rsync_opts) will end up transfer the current working directory.
type: list
default:
version_added: "1.6"
partial:
description:
- Tells rsync to keep the partial file which should make a subsequent transfer of the rest of the file much faster.
type: bool
default: no
version_added: "2.0"
verify_host:
description:
- Verify destination host key.
type: bool
default: no
version_added: "2.0"
private_key:
description:
- Specify the private key to use for SSH-based rsync connections (e.g. C(~/.ssh/id_rsa)).
type: path
version_added: "1.6"
link_dest:
description:
- Add a destination to hard link against during the rsync.
type: list
default:
version_added: "2.5"
notes:
- rsync must be installed on both the local and remote host.
- For the C(synchronize) module, the "local host" is the host `the synchronize task originates on`, and the "destination host" is the host
`synchronize is connecting to`.
- The "local host" can be changed to a different host by using `delegate_to`. This enables copying between two remote hosts or entirely on one
remote machine.
- >
The user and permissions for the synchronize `src` are those of the user running the Ansible task on the local host (or the remote_user for a
delegate_to host when delegate_to is used).
- The user and permissions for the synchronize `dest` are those of the `remote_user` on the destination host or the `become_user` if `become=yes` is active.
- In Ansible 2.0 a bug in the synchronize module made become occur on the "local host". This was fixed in Ansible 2.0.1.
- Currently, synchronize is limited to elevating permissions via passwordless sudo. This is because rsync itself is connecting to the remote machine
and rsync doesn't give us a way to pass sudo credentials in.
- Currently there are only a few connection types which support synchronize (ssh, paramiko, local, and docker) because a sync strategy has been
determined for those connection types. Note that the connection for these must not need a password as rsync itself is making the connection and
rsync does not provide us a way to pass a password to the connection.
- Expect that dest=~/x will be ~<remote_user>/x even if using sudo.
- Inspect the verbose output to validate the destination user/host/path are what was expected.
- To exclude files and directories from being synchronized, you may add C(.rsync-filter) files to the source directory.
- rsync daemon must be up and running with correct permission when using rsync protocol in source or destination path.
- The C(synchronize) module forces `--delay-updates` to avoid leaving a destination in a broken in-between state if the underlying rsync process
encounters an error. Those synchronizing large numbers of files that are willing to trade safety for performance should call rsync directly.
- link_destination is subject to the same limitations as the underlying rsync daemon. Hard links are only preserved if the relative subtrees
of the source and destination are the same. Attempts to hardlink into a directory that is a subdirectory of the source will be prevented.
