ansible-role-xkeysnail

This guide explains how to set up xkeysnail and configure it to start automatically with GNOME.

Requirements

You need to have sudo access.
Python3 is also required, and xkeysnail will be installed using pip (you will need python3-pip).

Role Variables

• xkeysnail_config_dir

  • This is where the configuration files will be stored.
  • The default location is /etc/opt/xkeysnail.
  • The directory must be accessible by other users (avoid using ~/.config/xxxx).

• xkeysnail_config_file

  • This variable specifies the configuration file written in Python.
  • The default file is config.py located in the files directory.
  • Do not include a / at the end of the path.

Dependencies

There are no additional requirements.

Example Playbook

This role is intended for local use. Remember that the executing user's name is added to /etc/sudoers.d/10-install.

- hosts: localhost
  roles:
    - name: pddg.xkeysnail
      vars:
        xkeysnail_config_dir: /etc/opt/xkeysnail
        xkeysnail_config_file: /path/to/config.py

When running the playbook, use the -K option because this role requires sudo.

$ ansible-playbook hoge.yml -K
