It took me a bit of fiddling but I think I figured it out. I had to get the directory structure correct ... now I have /etc/ansible/inventories/group_vars/ with files like siteA, siteB, siteC ... containing the specific variables. At first I always had /etc/ansible/group_vars ... and that didn't work at all! Now I am able to have such a small playbook for the whole dhcp-config of one site: --- - hosts: siteA user: root roles: - dhcpd and this pulls the group_vars from /etc/ansible/inventories/group_vars/siteA and applies it to the dhcpd-role and overrides /etc/ansible/roles/dhcpd/defaults/main.yml ... which was my original goal! nice!
