Example Playbook

This playbook runs when the variable update_mode is set to "true" and makes sure the role is up to date. By default, update_mode is "false".

The directory miquelMariano.ESXi_{{ role }} must exist. If it doesn’t, the playbook will not find the role and will fail. You should create the directory manually using mkdir /etc/ansible/my_role.

###
###ESXi_config.yml
###		
- hosts: ansible
  user: root
  tasks:
    - name: Ensure that the role is up to date
      command: ansible-galaxy install --force {{ item }}
      with_items:
        - miquelMariano.ESXi_{{ role }}
      when:
        - update_mode | default(False)
      tags: update
      ignore_errors: yes

- hosts: "{{ servers }}:!localhost"
  user: root
  serial: 1
  roles:
