Example Playbook

This example is from molecule/default/converge.yml and is tested with every update, pull request, and release.

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

  roles:
    - role: buluma.auto_update

Before running the playbook, you need to prepare the machine. In CI, this is done using molecule/default/prepare.yml:

---
- name: Prepare
  hosts: all
  become: true
  gather_facts: false

  roles:
    - role: buluma.bootstrap
