How to loop over variables so task "template" can generate 1 file per variable

[Valentino Gagliardi]

Hello friends.

Given a list of variables like this:

---
nginx_vhosts:
  - {domain: "thisisatest.com", usname: "thisisatest"}
  - {domain: "example.com", usname: "example"}
  - {domain: "company.com", usname: "company"}

assuming that all works fine in Jinja with:

....
{% for vhost in nginx_vhosts %}
    server_name {{ vhost.domain }} www.{{ vhost.domain }};
    root /home/{{ vhost.usname }}/public_html/;
{% endfor }
...

how to loop over nginx_vhosts.domain so task "template" can generate 1 file per domain? This task:

- name: Enable Vhost on CentOS OS family
  template: src=templates/vhost-nginx.j2
            dest=/etc/nginx/conf.d/{% for vhost in nginx_vhosts %}{{ vhost.domain }}.conf{% endfor %}
            owner=root
            group=root
            mode=0644

give me: thisisatest.com.confexample.com.confcompany.com.conf

Already tried this but no luck, gives me 1 file per domain and all files have all vhosts.domain inside:

- name: Enable Vhost on CentOS OS family
  template: src=templates/vhost-nginx.j2
            dest=/etc/nginx/conf.d/{{ item.domain }}.conf
            owner=root
            group=root
            mode=0644
  with_item: nginx_vhosts

Thank you!

use 2nd option (with_items: nginx_vhosts) and use this template:

    server_name {{ item.domain }} www.{{ item.domain }};

    root /home/{{ item.usname }}/public_html/;
