Copy multiple files with Ansible

How can I copy more than a single file into remote nodes by Ansible in a task?

I've tried to duplicate the copy module line in my task to define files but it only copies the first file.

Solution 1:

You can use the with_fileglob loop for this:

- copy:
    src: "{{ item }}"
    dest: /etc/fooapp/
    owner: root
    mode: 600
  with_fileglob:
    - /playbooks/files/fooapp/*

Solution 2:

- name: Your copy task
  copy: src={{ item.src }} dest={{ item.dest }}
  with_items:
    - { src: 'containerizers', dest: '/etc/mesos/containerizers' }
    - { src: 'another_file', dest: '/etc/somewhere' }
    - { src: 'dynamic', dest: '{{ var_path }}' }
  # more files here

Solution 3:

Since Ansible 2.5 the with_* constructs are not recommended, and loop syntax should be used. A simple practical example:

- name: Copy CA files
  copy:
    src: '{{item}}'
    dest: '/etc/pki/ca-trust/source/anchors'
    owner: root
    group: root
    mode: 0644
  loop:
    - symantec-private.crt
    - verisignclass3g2.crt
