I see what you're saying. Tried to put it into play, but I'm obviously
still missing some fundamental knowledge. How do I call the variable?
I tried:
- replace:
dest=<filename>
regexp='placeholder'
replace={{ inventory_hostname }}
backup =no
and it wouldn't work. I can get the file to work, as an experiment in place
of {{ inventory_hostname }} I put {{ ansible_eth0.ipv4.address }} and the
replace worked, putting the IP address of the target system where
'placeholder' used to be, so I've got that part down, but calling variables
I haven't got a handle on yet.
Off to do more reading. Thanks for the help Giovanni!
