Hi Jacek, this should work for you: - set_fact: address_variable='localhost' when: 'server' in group_names - set_fact: address_variable='server_address_here' when: 'server' not in group_names - template: ...
The "group_names" variable is a special variable that contains a list of the groups the current host is in.
