Increment - Ansible variable assigment

[Esteban Freire]

Hi all,

I have the following vars file:

student_accounts:
  user:
    username: user
    password: pass
    accounts_to_create: 2
    start_number_account: 1

And then the following task:

- name: Generate the sequence numbers
  set_fact: item.value.start_number_account={{ item.value.start_number_account | int + 1 }}
  register: item.value.start_number_account
  with_dict: student_accounts
  when: (item.value.start_number_account != item.value.accounts_to_create)
  tags:
    - create_student_account

- name: Create an user account in ON for the users defined on users.yml file
  sudo: True
  sudo_user: oneadmin
  shell: oneuser create "{{ item.value.username }}{{ item.value.start_number_account }}" "{{ item.value.password }}{{item.value.start_number_account }}"
  with_items: item.value.start_number_account.results
  tags:
    - create_student_account

My idea is to use this task to create several accounts on OpenNebula at the same time, in this case, so many accounts as I have specified on "accounts_to_create" variable. So I use the start_number_account variable to increment and then I would like to execute the command to create the account as many times as I have specified on "accounts_to_create" using the incremental variable and taking the advantage of it to also add the number to the account so it is a different account. The command would be executed like:

oneuser create "user1" "pass1"
oneuser create "user2" "pass2"
oneuser create "user3" "pass3"
[  ........... ]

I tried with set fact but I think I am not understanding it well. Also, If you know another method to get this, please let me know and any help is appreciated :)

Thanks in advance,
Esteban
