Vector Role

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
  gather_facts: false
  roles:
    - role: buluma.vector

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

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

  roles:
    - role: buluma.bootstrap
    - role: buluma.ca_certificates

Also see a full explanation and example on how to use these roles.
