It manages arbitrary filesystem paths such as certificates or auth files under /config/auth/, which are not tracked by commit/save/rollback. - All logic runs inside this module's main(), using the standard get_connection()/run_commands() pattern shared with vyos_command — there is no dedicated action plugin; this module uses the shared generic vyos action plugin like every other module in the collection. version_added: "6.0.0" author: - VyOS maintainers and contributors (@vyos) options: dest: description: Absolute path to the remote file or directory to manage. type: path required: true state: description: Whether the path should exist (present) or be removed (absent). type: str choices: [present, absent] default: present src: description: - Path to a local file (on the Ansible controller) whose content should be pushed to I(dest). Transferred via a real SCP session over the connection's own persistent socket (the same mechanism M(ansible.netcommon.net_put) uses), never placed inside a command string. Mutually exclusive with I(content). - File bytes are uploaded exactly as they exist on disk — Ansible does not render Jinja expressions inside the file's contents for I(src), only in the option values of the task itself (e.g. a templated path string). To push templated text, render it first with the C(template) lookup and pass the result via I(content) instead. type: path content: description: - Inline text content to write to I(dest). Marked no_log, since this module is commonly used to push credential material. Mutually exclusive with I(src). - Since I(content) is a normal string-type module option, Ansible renders any Jinja expressions in it (e.g. C({{ my_var }})) before this module ever runs, the same as any other option value — no special templating support is implemented by this module itself. type: str owner: description: Name of the user that should own I(dest). type: str group: description: Name of the group that should own I(dest). type: str mode: description: - Permission bits for I(dest), as a string (e.g. '0600'). Compared against stat output after normalizing to 4 digits; '600' and '0600' are treated as equivalent. type: str become: description: Whether to prefix remote commands with sudo. type: bool default: true notes: - This module works with connection C(ansible.netcommon.network_cli). - File state managed by this module is independent of VyOS's config revision system. A rollback to a previous config revision will not revert changes made by this module. - Paths under I(/config/auth) are deliberately setgid C(vyattacfg) by VyOS's own config-management convention (see vyos.dev T2713). If I(mode) is given with a leading digit of C(0) (e.g. C('0750')), this module compares only the rwx bits and will not report a diff for VyOS's own setgid bit. To manage the setgid/setuid/sticky bit explicitly, pass a non-zero leading digit (e.g. C('2750')).
