The role deletes the network file it generated

[lessless]

Hi,

Thank you for sharing this role.

I have an issue: the role deletes the network configuration file it generated, then generates it again, and the cycle continues.

First run:

ansible-playbook  playbook.yml -i hosts.ini  --vault-password-file vault_password_file.txt

This role probably doesn't support using jinja2 templates in the filenames. Can you try using a different filename, i.e.,:

      systemd_network_networks:
        uplink:
          Match:
            Name: "{{uplink_if}}"
          Network:
            DHCP: ipv4
