Variables

Iterates through the directory defined by ai_vars and dynamically loads all .yml and .yaml variable files (populating dictionaries like ai_conf_roles, etc.). Outputs debug information showing the current execution parameters. For example:

ai_conf_roles:
  vbotka.freebsd.packages: [conf, pkg-install]
  vbotka.freebsd.postinstall: [syslogd, syslog-ng]

Dynamic Role and Task Execution

Converts the ai_conf_roles dictionary into a flat list of role-to-task pairs using dict2items | subelements('value'). Iterates over every role/task combination:

- ansible.builtin.include_role:
    name: "{{ oitem.0.key }}"
    tasks_from: "{{ oitem.1 }}"
  loop: "{{ ai_conf_roles | dict2items | subelements('value') }}"
  loop_control:
     loop_var: oitem

Note

Use the task file main if you want to include the complete role.
