Example Playbook

This is an example from molecule/default/converge.yml and it is tested whenever there is a change.

---
- name: Converge
  hosts: all
  become: true
  gather_facts: true

  roles:
    - role: robertdebock.locale
      locale_lang: de_AT.UTF-8

Make sure your machine is ready. In Continuous Integration (CI), this is done using molecule/default/prepare.yml:

---
- name: Prepare
  hosts: all
  become: true
  gather_facts: false

  roles:
    - role: robertdebock.bootstrap

For more details, see a full explanation and example on using these roles.
