managing devices for lxc containers

[Spike]

Hi,

is there a way to add more than one device to a container from a variable?

I'd like to have something like this defined:

lxc_containers:

  - name: c1

    devices:

      - name: eth0

        type: nic

        ...

       - name: data

         type: disk

         ...

and then have a task like:

- name: create containers

  lxd_container:

    name: "{{item.name}}"

    state: started

    ...

    devices: "{{item.devices}}"

    ...

   with_items: "{{lxd_containers}""

right now this seems impossible as you have to spell out in the task each device. Am I misunderstanding the module? is there a way around it?

thanks,

Spike

That looks like it should work, {{item.devices}} should be expanded
before the module reads it, and that is already a list,

Though, looking at the code definition of the module, it seems wrong
and it takes a dictionary, not a list. Seem to need a 'dictionary of
device type with a list of devices'. Looks like the following should
work:

lxc_containers:
- name: c1
devices:

eth0:
name: eth0
type: nic
data:
path: /data
type: disk
