Example Playbook

Here’s a simple example from [molecule/default/converge.yml](https://github.com/robertdebock/ansible-role-openssl/blob/master/molecule/default/converge.yml). It's tested every time there is a push, pull request, or release.

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

  roles:
    - role: robertdebock.openssl
      openssl_items:
        - name: my_openssl_key
          common_name: my.example.com

Before running this, you need to prepare the machine. In CI, it’s done with `molecule/default/prepare.yml:

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

  roles:
    - role: robertdebock.bootstrap
    - role: robertdebock.buildtools
    - role: robertdebock.epel
    - role: robertdebock.python_pip
      # python_pip_update: false

For more details, see a full explanation and example of how to use these roles.
