Wow, thanks for the speedy reply!
Unfortunately for me, that didn't work (adding 2 spaces further indent on
the line " name: {{ applications }} " although it does make sense.
I still get the same error, at the same point. Kinda frustrating when the
keyword "name:" can be used for several different functions.
as an aside, and in a different, non-clean, non-easy to maintain, but to
prove to me that ansible can work, sorta, I created the playbook with
separate install lines for each app in the playbook:
tasks:
- name: install app1
apt: name=app1 state=present
- name: install app2
apt: name=app2 state=present
but I'm at 20 apps, and haven't even begun the setup commands, and copy
files, yet, and the playbook is becoming unwieldy, so the vars list setup
would be of great assistance...
Thanks again for the speedy reply, though.
