Archive Folder

Here’s a complete solution that meets all your requirements with proper ownership mapping for each app server.

---

✅ /home/thor/ansible/playbook.yml

- name: Archive and copy sysops data with correct ownership
  hosts: all
  become: true
  vars:
    archive_src: /usr/src/sysops/
    archive_dest_dir: /opt/sysops
    archive_name: cluster.tar.gz

  tasks:
    - name: Ensure destination directory exists
      file:
        path: "{{ archive_dest_dir }}"
        state: directory
        mode: '0755'

    - name: Create tar.gz archive of /usr/src/sysops
      archive:
        path: "{{ archive_src }}"
        dest: "/{{ archive_dest_dir }}/{{ archive_name }}"
        format: gz
        owner: "{{ ansible_user }}"
        group: "{{ ansible_user }}"

💡 How it works: - Uses the archive module to create a .tar.gz file of /usr/src/sysops/ - Copies the archive to /opt/sysops - Sets owner and group dynamically based on each host's alias (stapp01, stapp02, etc.)
