    - { role: mtlynch.clipbucket }

Running Example Playbook

To run the example playbook, example.yml (shown above), enter the following commands:

ansible-galaxy install mtlynch.clipbucket
ansible-playbook example.yml

After running the commands on a server named clipbucket, go to http://clipbucket/ and log in using the username admin and the password admin.
