Check Ansible Version

What does it do?

This role checks the version of the Ansible playbook. If the version is too old, it will fail. This helps avoid problems that can arise from using outdated Ansible installations.

How to use it?

Run this Ansible role on localhost.

Example playbook:

Using Ansible Galaxy:

# Install the role
ansible-galaxy install do1jlr.ansible_version

Example playbook:

---
- hosts: localhost
  roles:
  - {role: do1jlr.ansible_version, tags: [version, always], gather_facts: false}

Without Ansible Galaxy:

Clone the role to your roles directory as ansible_version. Example:

git clone https://github.com/roles-ansible/ansible_role_versioncheck.git roles/ansible_version

Your playbook might look like this:

---
- name: Check if Ansible is not too old
  hosts: localhost
  tags:
    - default
    - version
    - always
  roles:
    - ansible_version
  gather_facts: false
