Increment - Ansible variable assigment

Hi all,

I have the following vars file:

student_accounts: user: username: user password: pass accounts_to_create: 2 start_number_account: 1

And then the following task:

`

  • name: Generate the sequence numbers
    set_fact: item.value.start_number_account={{ item.value.start_number_account | int + 1 }}
    register: item.value.start_number_account
    with_dict: student_accounts
    when: (item.value.start_number_account != item.value.accounts_to_create)
    tags:

  • create_student_account

  • name: Create an user account in ON for the users defined on users.yml file
    sudo: True
    sudo_user: oneadmin
    shell: oneuser create “{{ item.value.username }}{{ item.value.start_number_account }}” “{{ item.value.password }}{{item.value.start_number_account }}”
    with_items: item.value.start_number_account.results
    tags:

  • create_student_account
    `

My idea is to use this task to create several accounts on OpenNebula at the same time, in this case, so many accounts as I have specified on “accounts_to_create” variable. So I use the start_number_account variable to increment and then I would like to execute the command to create the account as many times as I have specified on ``"accounts_to_create`" using the incremental variable and taking the advantage of ```it to also add the number to the account so it is a different account. The command would be executed like:``

oneuser create "user1" "pass1"
```````oneuser create “user2” “pass2” oneuser create “user3” “pass3”```
[ … ]

I tried with set fact but I think I am not understanding it well. Also, If you know another method to get this, please let me know and any help is appreciated :)

Thanks in advance,
Esteban
