We only could include/exclude files from backup by passing them to the
restic binary as an option inline in
restic_repos.command
.When the number of in/exclude patterns grows, executed command in cron file
truncated at 999th symbol with error message "Error: command too long":
https://serverfault.com/questions/546342/crontab-maximum-command-length/736010#736010
This PR allows specifying include/exclude files with their contents in
defaults/main.yml
, then these files will be created intasks/install.yml
.Then you can reference these files in your
restic_repos.command
like this:It will make the command executed by cron daemon much shorter thus avoiding
999 symbols problem.
