Example Playbook

This example comes from molecule/default/converge.yml and is tested every time there’s a push, pull request, or release.

---
# TODO: Change this playbook to a different scenario
# Default scenario should work with default variable values
- name: Converge
  hosts: all
  vars:
    - centos_base_utility_packages: true
    - centos_base_enable_epel: true
    - centos_base_vim_users: ['root']
    - centos_base_basic_vim_tweaks: true
    - centos_base_firewalld_services: ['http']
    - centos_base_basic_packages: true
    - centos_base_firewalld: true
    - centos_base_debug_packages: true
    - centos_base_security_packages: true
  pre_tasks:
    - name: Install Apache
      ansible.builtin.yum:
        name: httpd
    - name: Start httpd
      ansible.builtin.systemd:
        name: httpd
        state: started
  roles:
    - role: buluma.centos_base

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

  roles:
    - role: buluma.bootstrap
    - role: buluma.epel
