Doubt

[Luiz_Guilherme_Nunes (Luiz Guilherme Nunes Fernandes)]

Hi, I have problems with global configuration playbook.

what is the correct setting?

- hosts: all
roles:
- role: debian_stock_config
when: ansible_facts[‘os_family’]|lower == ‘debian’

be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.

The offending line appears to be:

roles:
- role: debian_stock_config
^ here

Any suggestions?

try
- hosts: all
roles:
- role: debian_stock_config
when: ansible_facts[‘os_family’]|lower == ‘debian’

[racke (Stefan Hornburg)]

try
*- hosts: all
roles:
- role: debian_stock_config
when: ansible_facts['os_family']|lower == 'debian'*

That condition is overcomplicated.

   when: ansible\_os\_family == 'Debian'

should do the trick.

Also keep in mind that ansible_os_family will be Debian for Ubuntu as well.
If you need to target Debian specifically use ansible_distribution.

That’s more a sideways step than an improvement; using ansible_facts is better than relying on the top-level injection of vars (which can be disabled.)
