Role Variables

The version of Rust you want depends on the source installation.

rust_version: 1.31.0

By default, the role does not install from source.

build_rust_from_source: false

After the first installation, you can ensure the script updates Rust by setting:

rust_update: false

To keep a clean installation each time you run the playbook, you can use:

rust_install_clean: false

To make sure the role installs to your shell profiles, list them here:

shell_profiles:
- .bash_profile

You can also specify any cargo items to install using the cargo_items array. The binary property is optional; if you use it, the binary installation will be checked.

cargo_items:
  - name: ripgrep
    binary: rg

Installation

• Use ansible-galaxy install fubarhouse.rust to install
• Add this role to your playbook.
• Change the variables above as needed.
