GitHub	Version	Issues	Pull Requests	Downloads

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
  pre_tasks:
    - name: Update apt cache.
      apt: update_cache=true cache_valid_time=600
      when: ansible_os_family == 'Debian'

  roles:
    - role: buluma.kernel

The machine must be set up first. This is done in CI using molecule/default/prepare.yml:

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

  roles:
    - role: buluma.bootstrap
    - role: buluma.core_dependencies
    - role: buluma.buildtools
