<p>Ansible variables are used in templates by using the name surrounded by double
curly-braces. If facter or ohai were installed on the remote machine, variables
curly-braces. Ansible provides some &#8216;facts&#8217; about the system being managed
automatically in playbooks or when the setup module is run manually. If facter or ohai
were installed on the remote machine, variables
from those programs can be accessed too, using the appropriate prefix:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>This is an Ansible variable: {{ favcolor }}
This is a facter variable: {{ facter_hostname }}
This is an ohai variable: {{ ohai_foo }}</pre>
This is an Ansible fact: {{ ansible_hostname }}
This is a facter fact: {{ facter_hostname }}
This is an ohai fact: {{ ohai_foo }}</pre>
</div>
<p>NOTE: Ansible 0.3 (releasing very soon) will also supply built-in facts, so you won&#8217;t
need to install ruby on any of your remote machines if you don&#8217;t want to. These
are prefixed with <cite>ansible_</cite>.</p>
<p>Using the Ansible facts is generally preferred as that way you can avoid a dependency
on ruby. If you want to use facter instead, you will also need rubygem-json because
the facter packages may forget this as a dependency.</p>
<p>The <cite>file</cite> module allows changing ownership and permissions on files. These
same options can be passed directly to the <cite>copy</cite> or <cite>template</cite> modules as well:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>ansible webservers -m file -a "dest=/srv/foo/a.txt mode=600"
