Yes, you can specify the path of the Docker Compose directory on the command line when running the Ansible playbook. Here’s an example of how you can achieve that:1. Modify the playbook to accept an extra variable for the Docker Compose directory:
---- name: Run Docker Compose app hosts: your_target_hosts become: true gather_facts: false vars: docker_compose_dir: ”{{ docker_compose_directory }}” tasks: - name: Ensure Docker Compose app is up and running command: docker-compose up -d args: chdir: ”{{ docker_compose_dir }}”
- When running the playbook, pass the value of the
docker_compose_directoryvariable as an extra variable using the-eflag:shellansible-playbook -i inventory_file docker-compose-playbook.yml -e "docker_compose_directory=/path/to/docker_compose_app"Replaceinventory_filewith the path to your inventory file, and/path/to/docker_compose_appwith the desired directory path of the Docker Compose app on the target host.By using the-eflag followed by"docker_compose_directory=/path/to/docker_compose_app", you can override the value of thedocker_compose_directoryvariable defined in the playbook and provide a different path dynamically when running the playbook.
