ansible copy - temp dir too small - how to bypass?

Viewed 63

I am using ansible's builtin copy in order to copy a file to my host.

- name: "Copy"
  copy:
    src: dump.zip
    dest: "{{ dest_path}}" #lots of space on dest partition

The destination path is on /data partition with lots of space available.

However, ansible first copies my file to a /home/myansibleuser/.ansible/tmp folder, which is kept on a much smaller /home partition

so it fails: [WARNING]: sftp transfer mechanism failed on ...

I see no option for the copy module:

  • to set an explicit temp dir
  • or to bypass the temp dir altogether

What is the right way to solve this, without increasing the size of my /home partition?
