Ansible Advanced Template Loops Tutorial - Use Loop Vars in Your Templates

🎓 My new Ansible Course (Productive with Ansible, 2024) now in Early Access: learn.toptechskills.com/courses/productive-with…

In this tutorial video I respond to a question on my Ansible Template Tutorial post on Reddit (bit.ly/2RC73T6). @movethrowaway2018 asked:

"How do I replace vars in the template that change with each loop? For example, what if I want to copy a template for a .gitconfig file for multiple users to each user's home directory?"

Great question! In this tutorial I show you my solution to this problem using the Ansible Template Module with a loop.

- 0:46 -- Playbook & Variables (how I set everything up)
- 1:30 -- Ensure Users Exist
- 3:18 -- Create .gitconfig for Each User (using the loop vars in the template)
