Example Playbook

This example is taken from molecule/default/converge.yml and is tested on each push, pull request and release.

---
- name: Converge
  hosts: all
  become: true
  gather_facts: true

  roles:
    - role: robertdebock.logwatch

The machine needs to be prepared. In CI this is done using molecule/default/prepare.yml:

---
- name: Prepare
  hosts: all
  become: true
  gather_facts: false

  roles:
    - role: robertdebock.bootstrap
    - role: robertdebock.core_dependencies
    - role: robertdebock.postfix
      postfix_relayhost: "[relay.example.com]"
      postfix_myhostname: "smtp.example.com"
      postfix_mydomain: "example.com"
      postfix_myorigin: "example.com"
      postfix_aliases:
        - name: root
          destination: [email protected]
