How to assign an array to a variable in an Ansible-Playbook

Question

In a playbook I got the following code:

---
- hosts: db
  vars:
    postgresql_ext_install_contrib: yes
    postgresql_pg_hba_passwd_hosts: [\'10.129.181.241         


        

Answer 1

Variables can be represented as standard YAML structures so you can assign a list value to a key like this:

---
- hosts: db
  vars:
    postgresql_ext_install_contrib: yes
    postgresql_pg_hba_passwd_hosts:
      - '10.129.181.241/32'
      - '1.2.3.0/8'
