As suggested by @jimi-c (https://github.com/jimi-c), I post here the
follow-up discussion of this ticket:
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/6912, which concerns the
inability and issues to use `add_host` or group_by/set_fact to "dynamically
add new hosts to playbook inventory and groups for many hosts and not only
the first host in the inventory"
I have encountered this problem in my playbook (see the follwing code),
where add_host does not see the whole inventory when I try to use it to add
new hosts to playbook inventory and groups. Someone posted there an idea
to use set_fact and group-by to do this, but I still don't understand how
to achieve the same dynamic behavior where new hosts should be added to
groups using set_facts and group-by.. Specifically, I would like toi know
which facts should I set to achieve the same as with add_host, that in my
case is used like this:
- name: Register new LXCs to inventory`
add_host:
ansible_user: "{{ item.item.value.operuser }}"
name: "{{ item.lxc_container.ips.0 }}"
groups: "lxcs"
srvname: "{{ ansible_host }}"
with_items: "{{ lxcs_info.results }}"
In the code above, the <pre>lxcs_info.results</pre> var has alll the item
data needed for this task to run, but the "add_host" does not add hosts to
all hosts in the inventory, but only the first host specified in the
inventory/hosts -file. So please, how can I do this with "add_hosts" or
the "set_facts + group_by" -method as suggested by @mpdehaan
