Role Variables

These variables are set in defaults/main.yml:

---
# defaults file for users

# The location to store ssh keys for user
users_ssh_key_directory: ssh_keys

# The default shell if not overwritten.
users_shell: /bin/bash

# manage cron permissions via /etc/cron.allow

Requirements

• Access to a repository containing packages, likely on the internet.
• A recent version of Ansible. (Tests run on the current, previous and next release of Ansible.)

The following roles can be installed to ensure all requirements are met, using ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml:

---
- robertdebock.bootstrap
- robertdebock.core_dependencies

Context

This role is a part of many compatible roles. Have a look at the documentation of these roles for further information.

Here is an overview of related roles:

Compatibility

This role has been tested on these container images:

container	tags
alpine	all
amazon	2018.03
el	7, 8
debian	buster, bullseye
fedora	31, 32
opensuse	all
ubuntu	focal, bionic, xenial

The minimum version of Ansible required is 2.8 but tests have been done to:

• The previous version, on version lower.
• The current version.
• The development version.

Testing

Unit tests are done on every commit, pull request, release and periodically.

If you find issues, please register them in GitHub

Testing is done using Tox and Molecule:

Tox tests multiple ansible versions. Molecule tests multiple distributions.

To test using the defaults (any installed ansible version, namespace: robertdebock, image: fedora, tag: latest):

molecule test

# Or select a specific image:
image=ubuntu molecule test
# Or select a specific image and a specific tag:
image="debian" tag="stable" tox

Or you can test multiple versions of Ansible, and select images: Tox allows multiple versions of Ansible to be tested. To run the default (namespace: robertdebock, image: fedora, tag: latest) tests:

tox

# To run CentOS (namespace: `robertdebock`, tag: `latest`)
image="centos" tox
# Or customize more:
image="debian" tag="stable" tox
