Example Playbook
Including an example of how to use your role (for instance, with variables passed in as parameters) is always nice for users too:
- hosts: servers
roles:
- bibicreator-ansible
Don't run this script as administrator if you want to use it witch Apache2, hence it is not able to display webpages created by root. After install, the webpage is accessable under https://localhost HTTP alone is not supported/allowed.
