GitHub	GitLab	Downloads	Version

Example Playbook

Here is an example playbook that shows how to use this role. This example is taken from the file molecule/default/converge.yml and is tested whenever changes are made.

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

  roles:
    - role: robertdebock.update_pip_packages
      update_pip_package_ignore:
        - libcomps
        - PyGObject
        - pygobject
        - pyxdg
        - resolvelib
        - dbus-python
        - setuptools

Before running this, your machine needs to be ready. In CI (Continuous Integration), this is done using the file molecule/default/prepare.yml:

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

  roles:
    - role: robertdebock.bootstrap
    - role: robertdebock.epel
    - role: robertdebock.buildtools
    - role: robertdebock.python_pip
      python_pip_modules:
        - name: ansible

You can find a full explanation and example on how to use these roles.
