Role Description

Install and configure an openssh-server on your system.

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: false

  roles:
    - role: tehtbl.ssh_server

The machine you are running this on, may need to be prepared, I use this playbook to ensure everything is in place to let the role work.

---
- name: Prepare

  become: true
  gather_facts: false

  roles:
    - role: tehtbl.bootstrap

Testing Using Tox

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: tehtbl, image: ubuntu, 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 the correct images:

Tox allows multiple versions of Ansible to be tested. To run the default (namespace: tehtbl, image: ubuntu, tag: latest) tests:

tox

# To run Ubuntu (namespace: `tehtbl`, tag: `latest`)
IMAGE="ubuntu" tox

# Or customize more:
IMAGE="debian" TAG="stable" tox -e py37-ansible-current
