Thanks for the suggestions how to solve this problem.
Maciej's solution is great, since you don't have to modify a role nor
create a new one, you just pass different variables and you are good to go,
but the problem I have with that solution is that it makes it harder to
read what you configure
" I think the most elegant way to handle this is to add a new keyword in
the role dependency statement that would allow to override templates and
files on a "common" role by another role that depends on it."
Adding a new keyword is almost never the answer.
It sounds like the OP just needs to pas
I'm doing the same thing. The way I solved it was to have an

I have been using Ansible for a few months now and it has been a blast. I
think I got the hang of how Ansible works pretty good, but I'm still not
sure about what is the best way to reuse roles.
Let's take the "nginx" role as an example. We have Nginx installed on a lot
of servers, but besides
