--- # description: Update the Steward host agent (refresh agent.py, its units, the maintenance helper and its packages, then restart) on hosts already running it. # steward:category: host-agent # Update an already-installed Steward host agent: refresh agent.py, its systemd # units and the maintenance helper (#5766), then restart. # # Deliberately does NOT touch the registration token or /etc/steward-agent.conf # — the host already has a working token, so an update leaves identity alone and # only swaps the agent binary. Connects as the managed `steward` account (set # globally as the SSH user); no bootstrap password or token injection needed. # # For a fresh host with no agent, use provision.yml (new host) or install.yml # (already-provisioned host) instead — those mint and install the token. - name: Update Steward host agent hosts: all become: true gather_facts: false vars: steward_url: "" tasks: - name: Require steward_url ansible.builtin.assert: that: - steward_url | length > 0 fail_msg: "Pass steward_url as an extra-var (the Update action sets it)." - name: Confirm the agent is already installed ansible.builtin.stat: path: /usr/local/lib/steward-agent/agent.py register: agent_file - name: Fail clearly if the agent is missing ansible.builtin.fail: msg: "No agent at /usr/local/lib/steward-agent — provision or install this host first." when: not agent_file.stat.exists - name: Refresh agent.py ansible.builtin.get_url: url: "{{ steward_url }}/plugins/host_agent/agent.py" dest: /usr/local/lib/steward-agent/agent.py mode: "0755" force: true notify: restart steward-agent # The units and the maintenance helper come from Steward: one copy for # install.sh and every playbook (#5766).
