I know this is 2 year old thread, but I bumped into this today and was
able to create a dictionary. Something like this:
/tmp $ cat example.yml
- hosts: 127.0.0.1
vars:
app_servers: 5
ipaddress_base: "192.168.0"
rmi_portbase: 10000
host_info: |
{% set res = [] -%}
{%- for number in range(1,app_servers + 1) -%}
{% set ignored = res.extend([{
'hostname': 'app' + number|string,
'ipaddress': ipaddress_base + '.' + number|string,
'rmi_port': rmi_portbase|int + ( number * 10)
}]) -%}
{%- endfor %}
{{ res }}
tasks:
- debug: var=host_info
/tmp $ ansible-playbook example.yml
[WARNING]: provided hosts list is empty, only localhost is available
PLAY [127.0.0.1]
