You could use module_defaults
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/playbook_guide/playbooks_module_defaults.html
- template:
owner: root
group: radiusd
mode: "0640"
module_defaults:
template: "{{ item }}"
loop:
- { src: clients.conf.j2, dest: /etc/raddb/clients.conf }
- { src: proxy.conf.j2, dest: /etc/raddb/proxy.conf }
Or/additionally arg splatting (which can be unsafe in some cases if
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/reference_appendices/config.html#inject-facts-as-vars
is True):
- template: "{{ item }}"
module_defaults:
template:
owner: root
group: radiusd
mode: "0640"
loop:
- { src: clients.conf.j2, dest: /etc/raddb/clients.conf }
- { src: proxy.conf.j2, dest: /etc/raddb/proxy.conf }
