Example Playbook

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

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

  roles:
    - robertdebock.epel

The machine you are running this on, may need to be prepared, I use this playbook to ensure everything is in place to let the role work.

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

  roles:
    - robertdebock.bootstrap

After running this role, this playbook runs to verify that everything works, this may be a good example how you can use this role.

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

  tasks:
    - name: install a package from epel
      package:
        name: zstd
        state: present
