How to wait for server restart using Ansible?

Question

I\'m trying to restart the server and then wait, using this:

- name: Restart server
  shell: reboot

- name: Wait for server to restart
  wait_for:
    port=         


        

Answer 1

You should change the wait_for task to run as local_action, and specify the host you're waiting for. For example:

- name: Wait for server to restart
  local_action:
    module: wait_for
      host=192.168.50.4
      port=22
      delay=1
      timeout=300
