RaBe Ansible Role Motion
This Role helps install and configure a motion setup.
Is should be useful as regular role but is also container enabled since it has about the right surface for it to help us figure out if containers are going anywhere soon in some of the use cases motion offers.
The role follows the SemVer 2 spec.
Adds a motion service to your Ansible Container project. Run the following commands to install the service:
# Set the working directory to your Ansible Container project root
$ cd myproject
# Install the service
$ ansible-container install <USERNAME.ROLE_NAME>
Requirements
- Distro package manager prepared to install
motionpackage. - Ansible Container (optional)
- An existing Ansible Container project. To create a project, simply run the following:
# Create an empty project directory $ mkdir myproject # Set the working directory to the new directory $ cd myproject # Initialize the project $ ansible-contiainer init
