I’m trying to manage netplan by using ansible. That worked well in the past, where I used the a static template. Now I have to add several lines to the route section:

… bridges:… br0:  
… routes:  
… - to: 0.0.0.0/0  
… via: {{ ansible\_default\_ipv4.gateway }}  
… on-link: true  
… - to: {{ IP1 }}/32  
… scope: link  
… - to: {{ IP2 }}/32  
… scope: link  
… …

Now here comes the part, where I struggle.

Due to the fact, that my local routes differs from host to host, I can’t use a static template. So I tried to create a list in the host vars file, that contains a list of ips.

ROUTES:

- ip: “aaa.AAA.aaa.AAA”
- ip: “bbb.BBB.bbb.BBB”
- ip: “ccc.CCC.ccc.CCC”
- ip: n

I wanted to insert this list into my netplan file while looping over this list.

But I dont get it working. Do you have any hint or advice?

Thx in advance
