Add device_instances for sharing target files
Labs with multiple devices of the same model (e.g., 3x Belkin RT3200) had to duplicate target files or hardcode lab-specific configs, creating maintenance overhead.
Solution
Use
device_instancesinlabnet.yamlto map multiple physical devices to a single target file:Creates 3 places, all using
targets/linksys_e8450.yaml. Device-specific config (serial, IP, power) stays in exporter.Key change
Automatic resolution: Setting
LG_PLACE=labgrid-example-device_1automatically resolves toLG_ENV=targets/linksys_e8450.yamlwithout any manual config needed.Changes
tests/conftest.py: Auto-resolution logicansible/files/coordinator/places.yaml.j2: Template supportdocs/sharing-target-files.md: Full documentationREADME.md: Usage notesBackward Compatible
Existing configs without
device_instanceswould continue to work unchanged.
