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
  become: true
  tasks:
    - import_role:
        name: ddclient
      vars:
        daemon: 60
        configs:
          -
            protocol: dyndns2
            login: myLogin
            password: myPassword
            use: web
            server: null
            backupmx: null
            mx: null
            mxpri: null
            wildcard: null
            hosts:
              - myhost.dyndns.org
