Example Playbooks

The most simple working example of this role is:

---
- name: Create Stationeers server
  hosts: localhost
  roles:
  - role: bplower.stationeers
    accept_steamcmd_license: yes

SteamCMD requires accepting a license agreement during installation. I will not presume to make potentially legally binding decisions on your behalf, so acceptence of this license agreement is noted by the accept_steamcmd_license variable. If you do not provide an affirmative value, you will see the following error message:

TASK [bplower.stationeers : Check SteamCMD license agreement] ******************
fatal: [default]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "failed": true, "msg": "You must accept the SteamCMD license by setting the variable 'accept_steamcmd_license: true'"}

You can set the rconn password via the default.ini settings:

---
- name: Create Stationeers server
  hosts: localhost
  roles:
  - role: bplower.stationeers
    accept_steamcmd_license: yes
    stationeers_default_rconpassword: MySuperSecurePassword
