Requirements

Operating System

This role works on Debian or RHEL-based Linux systems that use systemd.

You need to run this role with root permissions. If you're using a regular user with sudo rights, add become: true.

Before using this role, make sure to gather ansible facts first.

License File

On a Linux host (this can be your Ansible control node), create a license file in the files directory by following these steps (make sure you have the avast-license package installed):

$ avastlic -v -o ./license.avastlic -c <YOUR-LICENSE-OR-WALLET-KEY>

Once created, copy the license.avastlic file into the files directory of this role. If your license file is saved in a different location, update the avast_license_file variable to reflect its new path.
