Role Variables

There are many variables that control the operation of this role, they are documented in the defaults/main.yml file.

Dependencies

The nmusatti.docker_ce role is used to install Docker Community Edition.

The nmusatti.source_python role is used to install Python from source.

The waco_org.waco_python is used to customize Python installations.

The geerlingguy.repo-epel role is used to enable the EPEL repository on CentOS.

The bobbyrenwick.pip role is used to install pip.

Example Playbook

Consider using the waco-bootstrap project to apply the waco-master role to newly installed computers. Otherwise you can invoke it directly, in which case you might want to copy and customize the defaults/main.yml file, and pass it as a variable file:

- hosts: servers
  roles:
     - role: waco_org.waco_master
       vars_file: my_defaults.yml
