I get an error during freeIPA ansible install which does not seem to make sense.

I am ashamed to say I either do not understand how this is done or I am confused. I have set the hosts file as follows and there is no 127.0.0.1 I am not entirely sure what else is required to not have 127.0.0.1 not returned.
