cjsteel.model

This is not a standard Ansible role.

The model role is intended to be used to test all roles in an Ansible project and would be customized for that project.

For this reason if you use the role as a starting point you probably want to delete the .git directory in order to incorporate the role into the containing projects repository.

Once this is done The roles and variables in molecule/some_scenario/playbook2.yml can be customized to develop and test the larger ansible project and might also be useful as a reference when applying the project to target nodes.

Description

This is intended to be used for molecule testing and development of an ansible project and the other roles in the project and that's it. This is why 'defaults/main.yml' and 'tasks/main.yml' are empty.

Requirements

Roles referred to in molecule/some_scenario/playbook.yml should be included in the projects requirements.yml file and can be installed with:

ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml

Role Variables

The variables in molecule/vagrant/playbook.yml are used to update the molecule providers files via the ansible-role-providers role if this is desired.

Dependencies

ansible-role-providers is required to allow for the updating of the included provider files.

ansible-role-providers

ansible-galaxy install cjsteel.providers
