ansible-playbook matching hosts

[ruebenramirez]

apply a trailing , to your -i host

# Host and IP address
ansible all -i example.com,
ansible all -i 93.184.216.119,

# Requires 'hosts: all' in your playbook
ansible-playbook -i example.com, playbook.yml

• setting hosts: all in the playbook seems scary to me

use --extra-vars

playbook:

---
- hosts: '{{ target }}'
...

usage:

ansible-playbook playbook.yml --extra-vars "target=host1"
