ansible ansible-playbook – Ansible Conditionals: Wildcard Match String

Solution is to change this:

shell: 'chdir={{ curl_dir }} "{{ item }}"'

to this:

shell: "{{ item }}"
args:
  chdir: "{{ curl_dir }}"

The documentation for the shell module now addresses this trickiness in the formatting. The complete working build task currently looks like this:

- name: Build CURL with openssl
  shell: "{{ item }}"
  args:
    chdir: "{{ curl_dir }}"
  with_items:
    - ./buildconf
    - ./configure --with-gssapi --with-libidn --with-libssh2 --prefix=/usr --without-nss
    - make
    - make install
    - ldconfig

The supervisorctl Ansible module does not support the reload command (see here), which is needed for supervisor to pick up new configuration entries.

You can do it yourself like this:

- command: supervisorctl reread
  sudo: yes
- supervisorctl: name=program:process state=restarted config=/etc/supervisor/supervisord.conf
  sudo: yes

The documentation on reload/reread/update/restart seems to be missing, and this blog post is out of date; you can experiment to make sure reload does what you expect.

Finally, don't put your program definitions in supervisord.conf. Instead, put them as individual files in /etc/supervisor/conf.d/*.conf. That makes installation and maintenance much easier.
