Ansible role maintenance

Maintain your system by cleaning up.

GitHub	Version	Issues	Pull Requests	Downloads

Example Playbook

This example is taken from molecule/default/converge.yml and is tested on each push, pull request and release.

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

  roles:
    - role: buluma.maintenance
      maintenance_files_to_empty:
        - /tmp/some_file.txt

The machine needs to be prepared. In CI this is done using molecule/default/prepare.yml:

---
- name: Prepare
  hosts: all
  become: yes
  gather_facts: no

  roles:
    - role: buluma.bootstrap

  tasks:
    - name: create a file
      ansible.builtin.copy:
        dest: /tmp/some_file.txt
        content: "Some content"
        mode: "0644"
