Backup Directory Validator

Description

This Ansible role pulls the directory-validator repository to a predefined location. It is used by the backup-docker-to-local and cleanup-failed-docker-backups roles to verify whether backups have been successfully created.

Overview

The role retrieves the latest version of the directory-validator from its Git repository and installs it into the designated folder (configured via the backup_directory_validator_folder variable). A fact is set to ensure that the repository is pulled only once per playbook run.

Purpose

The primary purpose of this role is to validate backup directories. By fetching the directory-validator tool, it enables dependent roles to assess the integrity and success of backup operations.

Features

  • Git Repository Pull: Automatically pulls the latest version of the directory-validator from Git.
  • Idempotent Execution: Ensures that the repository is fetched only once per playbook run.
  • Backup Verification: Serves as a validation step for other backup-related roles.
  • Configurable Destination: The target folder is customizable via the backup_directory_validator_folder variable.
