Hi,

Really sorry for the late reply - I've just realized that answer was never sent but it is in my Drafts folder :( user_variables.yml has the highest precedence and overrides everything else. So what you should do - is leverage group_vars and host_vars inside /etc/openstack_deploy folder. So you can create a file like /etc/openstack_deploy/group_vars/nova_compute and put "generic" for all computes content in this file instead of user_variables. And then you can have /etc/openstack_deploy/host_vars/compute1 and place a specific for this host.

Another thing you can do - is to create custom groups, like in example in the documentation: https://docs.openstack.org/openstack-ansible/latest/reference/inventory/conf...

Hope that helps:)

Hey folks,

Unfortunately, I am not able to specify host specific variables for the compute hosts. I am trying to specify the `nova_user_ssl_*` variables for each compute node. When these variables are specified in `user_variables.yml` and then specified in `openstack_user_config.yml`, they don't actually end up overriding the variables. But they are recognised correctly in `openstack_inventory.json`. When I remove the variables from `user_variables.yml`, everything works correctly.

Is it not possible to specify general variables in `user_variables.yml` and then overwrite them in `openstack_user_config.yml`?

Example for `openstack_user_config.yml` (same Problem when using `host_vars` instead of `container_vars`):

compute_hosts:
  compute1:
    ip: 192.168.1.2
    container_vars:
      nova_user_ssl_cert: "/path/to/cert1"
      nova_user_ssl_key: "/path/to/key1"
      nova_user_ssl_ca_cert: "/path/to/ca1"

thanks Roby
