How to implement a specific feature

Question

What did you do?

I am trying to change the tmp directory which is currently set to /opt/ansible/.ansible/tmp so that I can enable read only root filesystem. I would like to change this to a directory that I am mounting to an emptyDir. I tried to set the ANSIBLE_REMOTE_TMP and DEFAULT_LOCAL_TMP environment variables in my container but I am still getting errors writing to /opt/ansible/.ansible/tmp

What did you expect to see?

I want it so that ansible writes to something like /tmp instead of /opt/ansible/.ansible/tmp given that I mounted /tmp to an emptyDir

What did you see instead? Under which circumstances?

I see that it is still writing to /opt/ansible/.ansible/tmp which resides on the root filesystem

Environment

Operator type:

language helm I think it is helm, but I am not sure. I am actually trying to deploy Kiali-Operator using a helm chart. I am not familiar with how Kiali-Operator uses Ansible. Kubernetes cluster type:

Azure $ operator-sdk version

$ go version (if language is Go)

$ kubectl version

Additional context

I was able to resolve this by setting this env variable inside my container: ANSIBLE_LOCAL_TEMP
