Example Playbook

Here’s a simple example from molecule/default/converge.yml, which is tested regularly.

---
- name: Set sysctl settings
  hosts: all
  become: true
  gather_facts: true

  roles:
    - role: buluma.sysctl
      sysctl_items:
        - name: net.ipv4.ip_forward
          value: 1

Before running this, you should prepare your machine. In CI, it uses molecule/default/prepare.yml:

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

  roles:
    - role: buluma.bootstrap
