hostname with -\d+ crash the installation

[gui1117]

because of the following rule https://github.com/ideascube/ansiblecube/blob/oneUpdateFile/roles/set_custom_fact/tasks/main.yml#L91
(but there other same replacement)

the hostname is modified unexpectedly and so not found in device list

[gui1117]

can't we use ideascube_project_name instead of hostname ?

I don't understand how the line https://github.com/ideascube/ansiblecube/blob/oneUpdateFile/roles/set_custom_fact/tasks/main.yml#L91 could replace unexpectedly the hostname.

{{ ansible_hostname }} variable is used here specifically to ensure that the hostname is correctly recorded, I use it against device_list.fact to ensure the device we are going to setup has a json declaration.

Further in the playbook I use {{ ansible_hostname }} mainly for convenience.

ideascube_project_name is only used with a master tag and can not be used with other tags.

Does this answer help you ?

I don't understand how the line https://github.com/ideascube/ansiblecube/blob/oneUpdateFile/roles/set_custom_fact/tasks/main.yml#L91 could replace unexpectedly the hostname.

let's say the hostname: '-123', then ansible_hostname would be something like '-123-999'. after replace it would be ''

using the end of line marker would resolve the regex, something like this: '-\d+$'

The regex is loose because it worked for us and our undefined-but-consistent naming scheme, and we don't plan to ship any box named r2d2-6po - yet.
