Acme-Tiny Install

This is an Ansible role designed to install acme-tiny. It first tries the standard method for your Linux distribution, and if that doesn't work, it downloads the source directly from 'diafygi' on GitHub. You can change this behavior by providing a different URL or checksum.

This role should be executed on the machine that will also handle the inofix.acme-tiny-setup and inofix.acme-tiny-sign roles later.

Why not use an existing role?

• Read the "Promise" section below. We need reliability.
• This role works with maestro and needs to align with its logic. (However, you can use this role without maestro.)

State

UNSTABLE! We are currently transitioning from zwischenloesung.acme-tiny-install.

Promise

The role may change in the future, but we will only add features that keep it compatible with older versions.

If major changes are required, a new role will be created, likely with an 'ng' or version suffix.

# ansible-galaxy install inofix.acme-tiny-install
