I haven't used roles yet. If a host can assume several roles, then this
could work. Otherwise I'll have to deal with redundant dictionaries,
which is exactly what I want to avoid.
Thanks for the hint

If each mount was managed by a role, you could just apply those
roles to the (groups holding) the relevant servers.
You'll need to have multiple data structures, one per role, but that's
probably going to 'work with the grain' of Ansible better.

Dear all,
I'm at a loss as to how to filter entries fom a dictionry based von specific
host variables. In the concrete case we have a long list of possible NFS
mounts which should be applied according to the hosts' class.
Our hostlist would be like:
host1 class=cluster
host2 class=cluster
host3 class=server
our dictionary of possible mounts would e.g. be:
---
/mnt/1:
name: /mnt/1
src: server:/exports/1
fstype: nfs
state: mounted
class:
- cluster
/mnt/2:
name: /mnt/2
src: server:/exports/2
fstype: nfs
state: mounted
class:
- cluster
- server
/mnt/3:
name: /mnt/3
src: server:/exports/3
fstype: nfs
state: mounted
class:
- cluster
...
I.e I'd like all three mounts to be available on hosts of the class
"cluster" and /mnt/2 (but not the other two mounts) on hosts of the class
"server".
The current playbook (which applies all mounts to all hosts) is
---
- hosts: '{{ target }}'
gather_facts: no
serial: 5
tasks:
- include_vars:
file: ./mounts-dict.yml
name: fs
- name: "Add NFS mounts"
mount:
name: "{{ item.value.name }}"
fstype: "{{ item.value.fstype }}"
src: "{{ item.value.src }}"
state: "{{ item.value.state }}"
with_dict: "{{ fs }}"
...
The playbook is run with `ansible-playbook ./nfs-mounts.yml
--extra-vars="target=<hostname>".
What I'd need is a syntax, which checks for each mount in the dictionary, if
one of it's (possibly multiple) classes matches the (single) class of the
server and then applies the mount. I could not find a usable Jinja-Syntax
which I could use together with `when`. I'd appreciate any hint or pointer
to achieve this task.
Thanks
