How do you create a directory www at /srv on a Debian-based system using an Ansible playbook?

Answer 1

To check if directory exists and then run some task (e.g. create directory) use the following

- name: Check if output directory exists
    stat:
    path: /path/to/output
    register: output_folder

- name: Create output directory if not exists
    file:
    path: /path/to/output
    state: directory
    owner: user
    group: user
    mode: 0775
    when: output_folder.stat.exists == false
