How can I roll out files to multiple remote /home/* directories?

[scorp123]

I have this playbook to roll out "dot" config files:

--- - hosts: linuxboxes tasks: - name: Update .* config files in $HOME copy: src: "{{ item }}" dest: /home/user1/ owner: user1 group: user1 with_fileglob: - /home/master/System_Configs/Bash-Profiles/Linux/Ubuntu/User/.*

This playbook is working OK for this one user "user1" and it does what it says: It takes all the "dot" files such as ".bashrc", ".vimrc" and so on from that master directory and updates them with the new defaults I have defined. So all the "dot" files are the same across all hosts in the "linuxboxes" group for this one user. No problem there.

But what if I have multiple existing users? Copying & pasting that "copy:" block and redoing it for every user seems redundant and let's be honest: it's bad style.

How could I get ansible to loop over every /home/* directory and copy my defaults to each existing user's home?

I imagine I'd have to work with 2 x different "{{ item }}" loops but I am not really sure how to do it ...?

I also have this little playbook below that fetches a list of remote home directories that exist (see below). How could I feed the results below (the list of remote home directories) as "dest" argument into the playbook above?

---

- hosts: linuxboxes tasks: - name: Get list remote /home/* directories shell: ls /home | grep -v "lost+found" register: userhomes changed_when: false - name: Print list of remote /home/* directories debug: msg={{ userhomes.stdout_lines }}

Thanks in advance for your suggestions :)
