Requirements

Nothing.

Role Variables

See default variables: defaults/main.yml

update_packages: no

Don't update system packages before any operations.

enable_epel_release: no

Don't install epel-release in RHEL OS for extra-packages. If you want to install mc or htop you should set yes. Supports version 6 and 7.

system_packages: []

By default role doesn't install anything, but if you set:

system_packages:
    - traceroute
    - wget
    - nano

ansible will always install and update traceroute, wget and nano packages.

Dependencies

Install dependencies using Ansible galaxy

ansible-galaxy install -r roles/requirements.yml
