Specifying mode is the best way to ensure filesystem objects are created with the correct permissions. If mode is not specified and the destination filesystem object does exist, the mode of the existing filesystem object will be used. If mode is not specified and the destination filesystem object does not exist, the default umask on the system will be used when setting the mode for the newly created filesystem object. Giving Ansible a number without following either of these rules will end up with a decimal number which will have unexpected results.Īs of Ansible 1.8, the mode may be specified as a symbolic mode (for example, u+rwx or u=rw,g=r,o=r). Adding a leading zero (for example, 0755) works sometimes, but can fail in loops and some other circumstances. For consistent results, quote octal numbers (for example, '644' or '1777') so Ansible receives a string and can do its own conversion from string into number. You must give Ansible enough information to parse them correctly. The permissions the resulting filesystem object should have.įor those used to /usr/bin/chmod remember that modes are actually octal numbers. If checksum validation is desired, use _url or instead to fetch the file and set remote_src=yes.įor Windows targets, use the _unzip module instead. Set remote_src=yes to unpack an archive which already exists on the target. It will not unpack a compressed file that does not contain an archive.īy default, it will copy the source file from the local system to the target before unpacking.
