在CentOS 7上用Ansible部署JsReport的问题求助

I'm trying to automate the installation of jsReport on CentOS 7 using Ansible, following the official CentOS installation steps. I've put together an initial script, but it's throwing a bunch of errors at different stages. Even after making adjustments like creating a dedicated system user and adding manual dependency installs, some issues persist—while manual steps work, the script still fails in key places.

Here's a breakdown of the problems I've encountered:

Error Stages #

1. Initial Script Execution #

Right out the gate, the script hit several issues:

• Directory already exists errors when trying to set up the jsReport workspace
• jsreportapp: command not found after running jsreport init
• node: command not found even after installing nvm and Node.js
• Puppeteer installation failure during the npm install step for jsReport

2. After Script Adjustments #

I updated the script to create a dedicated jsreport system user and explicitly install required system dependencies, but two critical errors remained:

• node: command not found still popped up in Node-related tasks
• Puppeteer installation failure persisted

3. Partial Success with Manual Intervention #

When I manually installed all required system dependencies on the target server, the script ran without immediate errors—but when it tried to start jsReport as the jsreport user, I got the error: "cannot find installed instance".

What I Need Help With #

I'm stuck on three main points:

1. How can I ensure the nvm/Node.js environment is properly loaded and recognized in Ansible shell tasks? It seems like the environment variables aren't persisting between tasks.
2. What's causing the Puppeteer installation failure, and how can I fix it via Ansible? I've installed the system dependencies mentioned in the docs, but it still fails.
3. Why does jsreport start throw a "cannot find installed instance" error when run via Ansible, even though it works when I run the command manually as the jsreport user?

Any guidance or fixes for these issues would be greatly appreciated!
