I have what seems to be a simple question that I can't find on the web. How do I get the current date from the Ansible server into a J2 variable? I know how to do it with {{ ansible_date_time.date }} but that's from the remote node at the time Ansible collected facts (which could be cached), NOT "now" on the server I'm running on...right?
