Setting up a new laptop. Installed iTerm2, zsh, and OhMyZSH.
.zshrc looks like:
# If you come from bash you might have to change your $PATH.
#export PATH=$HOME/bin:/usr/local/bin:$PATH
# Path to your oh-my-zsh installation.
export ZSH="$HOME/.oh-my-zsh"
ZSH_THEME="robbyrussell"
plugins=(git ripgrep web-search)
source $ZSH/oh-my-zsh.sh
# User configuration
# export MANPATH="/usr/local/man:$MANPATH"
# You may need to manually set your language environment
# export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
# Preferred editor for local and remote sessions
# if [[ -n $SSH_CONNECTION ]]; then
# export EDITOR='vim'
# else
# export EDITOR='mvim'
# fi
# Example aliases
# alias zshconfig="mate ~/.zshrc"
# alias ohmyzsh="mate ~/.oh-my-zsh"
I get confirmation that the plugin is enabled:
➜ ~ omz plugin enable ripgrep
omz::plugin::enable: plugin 'ripgrep' is already enabled.
But when I try to use it (or any other plugin)
➜ ~ rg
zsh: command not found: rg
➜ ~ ripgrep
zsh: command not found: ripgrep
I want to symlink all the files which start with "sun" in the dir /myTest/logs/ to /finalProject/logs/sun
i tried using ln -sd /finalProject/logs/sun /myTest/logs/*
but i get error saying target is not a dir.
can somebody help.
You can't symlink multiple files with a single command. But a little bash for loop will do what you need:
for i in /finalProject/logs/sun*
do
ln -s $i /myTest/logs/
done
How do you create a directory www at /srv on a Debian-based system using an Ansible playbook?
You want the file module. To create a directory, you need to specify the option state: directory :
- name: Creates directory
file:
path: /src/www
state: directory
You can see other options at https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/ansible/builtin/file_module.html
You can even extend the file module and even set the owner,group & permission through it. (Ref: Ansible file documentation)
- name: Creates directory
file:
path: /src/www
state: directory
owner: www-data
group: www-data
mode: 0775
Even, you can create the directories recursively:
- name: Creates directory
file:
path: /src/www
state: directory
owner: www-data
group: www-data
mode: 0775
recurse: yes
This way, it will create both directories, if they didn't exist.
Additional for all answers here, there is lot of situations when you need to create more then one directory so it is a good idea to use loops instead creating separate task for each directory.
- name: creates multiple directories in one task
file:
path: "{{ item }}"
state: directory
loop:
- /srv/www
- /dir/foo
- /dir/bar
you can create using:
Latest version 2<
- name: Create Folder
file:
path: /srv/www/
owner: user
group: user
mode: 0755
state: directory
Older version
- name: Create Folder
file:
path=/srv/www/
owner=user
group=user
mode=0755
state=directory
Refer - http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/file_module.html
Directory can be created using file module only, as directory is nothing but a file.
# create a directory if it doesn't exist
- file:
path: /etc/some_directory
state: directory
mode: 0755
owner: foo
group: foo
- name: Create a directory
ansible.builtin.file:
path: /etc/some_directory
state: directory
mode: '0755'
- file:
path: /etc/some_directory
state: directory
mode: 0755
owner: someone
group: somegroup
That's the way you can actually also set the permissions, the owner and the group. The last three parameters are not obligatory.
You can create a directory. using
# create a directory if it doesn't exist
- file: path=/src/www state=directory mode=0755
You can also consult
http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/file_module.html
for further details regaridng directory and file system.
Just need to put condition to execute task for specific distribution
- name: Creates directory
file: path=/src/www state=directory
when: ansible_distribution == 'Debian'
You can use the statement
- name: webfolder - Creates web folder
file: path=/srv/www state=directory owner=www-data group=www-data mode=0775`
enter code here
- name: creating directory in ansible
file:
path: /src/www
state: directory
owner: foo
you can refer to ansible documentation
If you want to create a directory in windows:
- name: create folder in Windows
win_file:
path: C:\Temp\folder\subfolder
state: directory
See the win_file module for more information.
to create directory
ansible host_name -m file -a "dest=/home/ansible/vndir state=directory"
We have modules available to create directory , file in ansible
Example
- name: Creates directory
file:
path: /src/www
state: directory
you can use the "file" module in this case, there are so many arguments that you can pass for a newly created directory like the owner, group, location, mode and so on.....
please refer to this document for the detailed explanation on the file module...
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/file_module.html#file-module
remember this module is not just for creating the directory !!!
To check if directory exists and then run some task (e.g. create directory) use the following
- name: Check if output directory exists
stat:
path: /path/to/output
register: output_folder
- name: Create output directory if not exists
file:
path: /path/to/output
state: directory
owner: user
group: user
mode: 0775
when: output_folder.stat.exists == false
You can do it as one of the following ways:
Example 1: If Parent Directory already exists:
- name: Create a new directory www at given path
ansible.builtin.file:
path: /srv/www/
state: directory
mode: '0755'
Example 2: If Parent Directory does not exist:
- name: Create a new directory www at given path recursively
ansible.builtin.file:
path: /srv/www/
state: directory
mode: '0755'
recurse: yes
Here in Example 2, it will recursively create both directories if they are not present.
You can see the Official Documentation for further info on file_module
You can directly run the command and create directly using ansible
ansible -v targethostname -m shell -a "mkdir /srv/www" -u targetuser
OR
ansible -v targethostname -m file -a "path=/srv/www state=directory" -u targetuser
---
- hosts: all
connection: local
tasks:
- name: Creates directory
file: path=/src/www state=directory
Above playbook will create www directory in /src path.
Before running above playbook. Please make sure your ansible host connection should be set,
"localhost ansible_connection=local"
should be present in /etc/ansible/hosts
for more information please let me know.
Use file module to create a directory and get the details about file module using command "ansible-doc file"
Here is an option "state" that explains:
If directory, all immediate subdirectories will be created if they do not exist, since 1.7 they will be created with the supplied permissions.
If file, the file will NOT be created if it does not exist, see the [copy] or [template] module if you want that behavior.
If link, the symbolic link will be created or changed. Use hard for hardlinks.
If absent, directories will be recursively deleted, and files or symlinks will be unlinked.
Note that file will not fail if the path does not exist as the state did not change.
If touch (new in 1.4), an empty file will be created if the path does not
exist, while an existing file or directory will receive updated file
access and modification times (similar to the way touch works from
the command line).
Easiest way to make a directory in Ansible.
name: Create your_directory if it doesn't exist.
file:
path: /etc/your_directory
OR
You want to give sudo privileges to that directory.
name: Create your_directory if it doesn't exist.
file:
path: /etc/your_directory
mode: '777'
Hello good afternoon team.
I share the following with you.
- name: Validar Directorio
stat:
path: /tmp/Sabana
register: sabana_directorio
- debug:
msg: "Existe"
when: sabana_directorio.stat.isdir == sabana_directorio.stat.isdir
- name: Crear el directorio si no existe.
file:
path: /tmp/Sabana
state: directory
when: sabana_directorio.stat.exists == false
With which you can validate if the directory exists before creating it
I see lots of Playbooks examples and I would like to mention the Adhoc commands example.
$ansible -i inventory -m file -a "path=/tmp/direcory state=directory ( instead of directory we can mention touch to create files)
You need to use file module for this case. Below playbook you can use for your reference.
---
- hosts: <Your target host group>
name: play1
tasks:
- name: Create Directory
files:
path=/srv/www/
owner=<Intended User>
mode=<Intended permission, e.g.: 0750>
state=directory
here is easier way.
- name: create dir
command: mkdir -p dir dir/a dir/b
I'm trying to use the KnpSnappyBundle to create PDF files from twig templates.
I've followed this post to install wkhtmltopdf and it works when I do:
wkhtmltopdf http://www.google.com test.pdf
but when I try to create a PDF file from a controller:
$this->get('knp_snappy.pdf')->generateFromHtml(
$this->renderView('AcmePDFBundle:Default:template.html.twig'),
'../app/var/PDFfiles/PDF.pdf'
);
I'm getting this error:
request.CRITICAL: RuntimeException: The exit status code '1' says something went wrong:
stderr: "wkhtmltopdf: cannot connect to X server
"
stdout: ""
command: /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf --lowquality '/tmp/knp_snappy532ca2272fba44.73835084.html' '../app/var/files/PDF.pdf'. (uncaught exception) at /home/me/MyServer/project/vendor/knplabs/knp-snappy/src/Knp/Snappy/AbstractGenerator.php line 304 [] []
Any idea of how to solve it?
This is my configuration for KnpSnappyBundle:
knp_snappy:
pdf:
enabled: true
binary: /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf
options: []
image:
enabled: false
binary: /usr/bin/wkhtmltoimage
options: []
Resolved installing a precompiled version. now you can get your version from here (inspired by this out of date answer ):
http://wkhtmltopdf.org/downloads.html
and changed my config.yml to:
knp_snappy:
pdf:
enabled: true
binary: /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf
options: []
image:
enabled: false
binary: /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltoimage
options: []
and now it works!
You must copy it into directory : /usr/local/bin, make sur it's executable and add symlink of wkhtmltopdf.sh like :
1- the command :
sudo apt-get install wkhtmltopdf
2 - insert the binary in directory /usr/bin so the browser can't have permission to execute in this directory.
You must copy the wkhtmltopdf.sh to directory /usr/local/bin cause the browser have permission in this directory like:
sudo cp /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf.sh /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf.sh
3 - After make sur the binary have permission of execution like :
sudo chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf.sh
4 - so now you can test, it's work like:
/usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf.sh http://www.google.com google.pdf
it make download the pdf in the current directory in your terminal
5 - Optional
now you can add symlink in your directory /usr/local/bin like
ln -s /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf.sh /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf
6 - copy to the /usr/bin/wkhtmltoimage into /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltoimage like:
sudo cp usr/local/wkhtmltoimage usr/local/bin/wkhtmltoimage
8- make sur this is executable too:
sudo chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltoimage
7 - change the directory of binary in configuration of symfony in config/packages/knp_snappy.yaml :
knp_snappy:
pdf:
enabled: true
binary: /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf
options: []
image:
enabled: false
binary: /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltoimage
options: []
I Hope it's help you
