With the condition letsencrypt_cert.stat.exists == False we're only checking that the cert for {{ domain }} exists so if the CA was already created this command is going to overwrite it. Even if it doesn't the condition must be related to the file it creates. You could use
args:
creates: /path/to/filein the command task so it's only executed if the rootCA.key doesn't already exist.

Same here with the CN, maybe using the {{ domain }} is a better idea.

Creating a self CA for signing certificates when testing. Otherwise, chrome dont accept connections to localhost, because certificate is not valid.

To establish SSL connection, add the rootCA.pem to your system certificates, located on the host machine on
/etc/letsencrypt/live/CA/rootCA.pem.
