Example Playbook

Here’s a simple example taken from molecule/default/converge.yml. It is tested with every code change.

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

  roles:
    - role: robertdebock.reboot

Before using it, your machine needs to be set up. This is done in CI using molecule/default/prepare.yml:

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

  roles:
    - role: robertdebock.bootstrap

You can find a complete guide and examples on how to use these roles.
