RE: [ansible-project] Can’t use dash with numbers as hostname
Stuart Lowe
I’m not getting the same thing happen.
The ansible_host var is expecting a fqdn or ip so should just show like below.
what version of ansible are you using?
# cat test
test1 ansible_host=10-1
test2 ansible_host="10-1"
test3 ansible_host='10-1'
ansible-inventory -i test --list
{
"_meta": {
"hostvars": {
"test1": {
"ansible_host": "10-1"
},
"test2": {
"ansible_host": "10-1"
},
"test3": {
"ansible_host": "10-1"
}
}
},
"all": {
"children": [
"ungrouped"
]
},
"ungrouped": {
"hosts": [
"test1",
"test2",
"test3"
]
}
}

Subject: [ansible-project] Cant use dash with numbers as hostname
Hi all,
is there a way to escape the dash/minus in the hostname (when using numbers)
hostfile:
test1 ansible_host=10-1
test2 ansible_host="10-1"
Result:
bash-4.4# ansible-inventory -i hosts --list
{
"_meta": {
"hostvars": {
"test1": {
"ansible_host": 9
},
"test2": {
"ansible_host": 9
}
}
},
"all": {
"children": [
"ungrouped"
]
},
"ungrouped": {
"hosts": [
"test1",
"test2"
]
}
}
The ansible-inventory made a calculation for the var ....
Thanks & regards
CWollinger
