Can i provide options for a module via a dict variable ?

[ishan jain]

Suppose i want to start a docker container and its parameters would differ based on a condition. Something like this:

docker_container:

   name: typeA

   image: typeA

   volumes:

      - a1:a1

      - a2:a2

when: type == A

docker_container:

   name: typeB

   image: typeB

   volumes:

      - b1:b1

      - b2:b2

   privileged: yes

when: type == B

I want to avoid writing and maintaining two similar tasks when i know always only one of them will execute. So is there a more elegant way to do this ? Like i define the differences in a dict var and only specify one docker_container.

I tried this but this didn't work. I was hoping that there is something similar possible

Avars:

   name: typeA

   image: typeA

   volumes:

      - a1:a1

Bvars:

   name: typeB

   image: typeB

   volumes:

      - b1:b1

      - b2:b2

   privileged: yes

docker_container: "{{ (type == A) | ternary ( Avars, Bvars) }}"
