bootstrap
=========
Prepare your system to be managed by Ansible.
Example Playbook
----------------
This example is taken from `molecule/resources/playbook.yml`:
```yaml
---
- name: Converge
hosts: all
become: yes
gather_facts: no
roles:
- robertdebock.bootstrap
```
The machine you are running this on, may need to be prepared.
```yaml
No preparation required.
Also see a [full explanation and example](https://robertdebock.nl/how-to-use-these-roles.html) on how to use these roles.
Role Variables
--------------
These variables are set in `defaults/main.yml`:
```yaml
---
# defaults file for bootstrap
# The user to use to connect to machines.
bootstrap_user: root
# Installed software to support modules flagged as "preview" (i.e. mysql_db).
# "yes", "no" or unset are valid.
bootstrap_preview: yes
# Do you want to wait for the host to be available?
bootstrap_wait_for_host: no
# The number of seconds you want to wait during connection test before failing.
bootstrap_timeout: 3
# The number of retries during installation
bootstrap_retries: 3
```
