network_interfaces

Intro

Configure the network interfaces on the host. This more or less amounts to configuring the contents of /etc/network/interfaces

Requirements

None.

Role Variables

See the comment in the default variables file for information on configuration.

Dependencies

None.

Example Playbook

- hosts: whatever
  roles:
    - triplepoint.network_interfaces

Role Testing

This role is tested with molecule, using pipenv to handle dependencies and the Python testing environment.

Setting Up Your Execution Environment

pip install pipenv

Once you have pipenv installed, you can build the execution virtualenv with:

pipenv install --dev

Running Tests

Once you have your environment configured, you can execute molecule with:

pipenv run molecule test

Regenerating the Lock File

You shouldn't have to do this very often, but if you change the Python package requirements using pipenv install {some_package} commands or by editing the Pipfile directly, or if you find the build dependencies have fallen out of date, you might need to regenerate the Pipfile.lock.

pipenv update --dev

Be sure and check in the regenerated Pipfile.lock when this process is complete.

TODOs

  • Migrate to netplan, away from ifupdown
