ansible and sub loops-CodePudding

Hope I have framed the title correctly. I am trying to loop over the first play using with_sequence and then use the output of the first play as the input of another, but the issue is the second play also uses a sequence. I can't get my around how I could achieve that.

create root directory

file:
  path: dir{{ item }}
with_sequence: 1-6
register: outdirs

mount using above directory

mount:
  state: mounted
  src: xxxx{{ item }}
  path: *outdirs.dir1*
  fstype: nfs
with_sequence: 21-26

Thanks

Use the results from first task to loop on the next one and add your offset:

- name: Create root directory
  file:
    path: "dir{{ item }}"
    state: directory
  with_sequence: 1-6
  register: outdirs

- name: Mount root dir
  vars:
    nfs_offset: 20
    nfs_number: "{{ item.item | int   nfs_offset | int }}"
  mount:
    state: mounted
    src: "xxxx{{ nfs_number }}"
    path: "{{ item.path }}"
    fstype: nfs
  loop: "{{ outdirs.results }}"
