Requirements

  • Access to a repository containing packages, likely on the internet.
  • A recent version of Ansible. (Tests run on the current, previous and next release of Ansible.)

The following roles can be installed to ensure all requirements are met, using ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml:

---
- robertdebock.ansible
- robertdebock.bootstrap
- robertdebock.buildtools
- robertdebock.core_dependencies
- robertdebock.docker
- robertdebock.epel
- robertdebock.python_pip

Context

This role is a part of many compatible roles. Have a look at the documentation of these roles for further information.

Here is an overview of related roles: dependencies

Compatibility

This role has been tested on these container images:

container tags
amazon all
debian all
el 8
fedora all
opensuse all
ubuntu bionic

The minimum version of Ansible required is 2.8 but tests have been done to:

  • The previous version, on version lower.
  • The current version.
  • The development version.

Exceptions

Some variarations of the build matrix do not work. These are the variations and reasons why the build won't work:

variation reason
Alpine Python.h: No such file or directory
Ubuntu Unable to find any of pip2, pip to use. pip needs to be installed.

Testing

Unit tests are done on every commit, pull request, release and periodically.

If you find issues, please register them in GitHub

Testing is done using Tox and Molecule:

Tox tests multiple ansible versions. Molecule tests multiple distributions.

To test using the defaults (any installed ansible version, namespace: robertdebock, image: fedora, tag: latest):

molecule test

# Or select a specific image:
image=ubuntu molecule test
# Or select a specific image and a specific tag:
image="debian" tag="stable" tox

Or you can test multiple versions of Ansible, and select images: Tox allows multiple versions of Ansible to be tested. To run the default (namespace: robertdebock, image: fedora, tag: latest) tests:

tox

# To run CentOS (namespace: `robertdebock`, tag: `latest`)
image="centos" tox
# Or customize more:
image="debian" tag="stable" tox
