Can't set gateway for provider network

[Damian Cikowski]

OSA 18.1.1 (Ubuntu)

There is a gateway key described in example: https://github.com/openstack/openstack-ansible/blob/master/etc/openstack_deploy/openstack_user_config.yml.example#L203

I'm trying to set specific default gateway for the haproxy containers, what is required in my environment.
It's definition looks as follow:

global_overrides:
  provider_networks:
    - network:
        container_bridge: "br-haproxyWan"
        container_type: "veth"
        container_interface: "eth14"
        ip_from_q: "haproxyWan"
        type: "raw"
        gateway: "10.0.11.11"
        group_binds:
          - haproxy

After containers are created network itself is working as expected but no specified gateway is set.
openstack_inventory.json inspection revealed that there is no gateway key in the appropriate container_networks network.
I've manually added the gateway key and after re-runing playbook gateway is set properly.

It looks like something is wrong with inventory generation script.

We don't support setting a default gateway right now as the default gateway is the host which does the NAT.

https://github.com/openstack/openstack-ansible-lxc_container_create/blob/master/tests/group_vars/all_containers.yml#L17-L26

That is an example how to setup a static route to a specific subnet if you need one.
