Loop through a group of hosts with pattern

[jzarzoso]

Hi everyone!

I'm thinking of looping through all the hosts from a playbook with a pattern. I have this play:

- hosts: localhost # Select all hosts

  tasks:

    - name: Debug the list

      debug: 

        msg: "host: {{ item }}"

      with_items: "{{groups.all}}"

I wanted something like this:

- hosts: localhost # Select all hosts EXCEPT localhost

  tasks:

    - name: Debug the list

      debug: 

        msg: "host: {{ item }}"

      with_items: "{{ groups.all:!localhost }}"

I tried but I got an error: 

fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"failed": true, "msg": "template error while templating string: expected token 'end of print statement', got ':'. String: {{groups.all:!localhost}}"}
