Example Playbook

This example is taken from molecule/resources/converge.yml and is tested on each push, pull request and release.

---
- name: Converge
  hosts: all
  become: yes
  gather_facts: yes

  roles:
    - role: robertdebock.ara

The machine may need to be prepared using molecule/resources/prepare.yml:

---
- name: Prepare
  hosts: all
  become: yes
  gather_facts: no

  roles:
    - role: robertdebock.bootstrap
    - role: robertdebock.buildtools
    - role: robertdebock.epel
    - role: robertdebock.python_pip

For verification molecule/resources/verify.yml runs after the role has been applied.

---
- name: Verify
  hosts: all
  become: yes
  gather_facts: no

  tasks:
    - name: check if connection still works
      ping:

Also see a full explanation and example on how to use these roles.

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
el	8
debian	buster, bullseye
fedora	31, 32
ubuntu	bionic

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.

Exceptions

Some variarations of the build matrix do not work. These are the variations and reasons why the build won't work:

variation	reason
Alpine	Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement Django>=2.1.5
CentOS	No matching distribution found for Django>=2.1.5
amazonlinux:1	No package matching 'python3-pip'
amazonlinux	No module named pkg_resources

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
