  • Ansible playbook - update and reboot machine

    Posted on

    Hi,

    I decided to create scheduled job based on Ansible playbook which will automatically:
    1. Clean DNF cache
    2. Install missing errata's
    3. Reboot server if needed.

    Below my simple script:

    • hosts: all
      gather_facts: True
      tasks:

      • name: Clean cache dnf
        ansible.builtin.command:
        cmd: dnf clean all
        ignore_errors: yes

      • name: Install missing erratas
        ansible.builtin.dnf:
        name: '*'
        state: latest

      • name: Check for pending reboot
        ansible.builtin.command:
        cmd: needs-restarting -r
        register: reboot_required
        failed_when: reboot_required.rc not in [0, 1]

      • name: Reboot server if needed
        ansible.builtin.reboot:
        reboot_timeout: 600
        when: reboot_required.rc == 1

    And now when I push that script with "Schelude remote job" I getting two issues:
    1. Run first task (Clean DNF cache) then run second task (Install missing errata's) but... not installing missing erratas, never proceed third task (Reboot if needed).

    1. It also repeat tasks execution few times.

    Console dump as below.
    [WARNING]: Callback disabled by environment. Disabling the Foreman callback plugin.
