DHCP Host Options about ansible-role-dhcp HOT 3 CLOSED

This role started quite simple and consequently supported only a limited subset of dhcpd's functionality. The more feature-rich it becomes, the harder it is to define some YAML translation of the dhcpd.conf that then needs to be translated back into the original form. I think this strategy is a dead end and sooner or later, it becomes infeasible to implement new feature requests. Frankly, I think we're already getting to the limits of what is feasible.

However, what I do think is a possibility is to allow the user to write a custom .conf file that will be included in the dhcpd.conf, either inline, or by using the include directive. It can even be a template so you can still use variables in the custom configuration. This would be relatively easy to implement and allows you to include arbitrary configuration settings.

Would this be a suitable solution to your use case?

Thank you for the response @bertvv. I think that a custom .conf file would be a pretty good idea. I will see if I can implement something like this to test it out. Not sure my ansible skills are up to scratch but I'm sure I can figure it out.

Thank you for the advice.
