Ansible Role: Common Generic Tasks

This role performs generic specific tasks required by other roles like :

• Installing Python, Except and other basic linux packages.
• Install, configure and start NTP service.
• Disable Selinux.
• Disable Iptables/firewalld and ufw

These are pre-requisites for other roles that install ipaserver, ipaclient and hadoop applications

Dependencies

None.

Example Playbook

- hosts: localhost
  become_user: True
  gather_facts: True
  
  roles:
    - yabhinav.common

Issues

• Selinux module fails if selinux is not installed #21622 . Do a stat check if selinux config file exists or use ansible_selinux which tells if selinux is present ( and not enabled or running)
• Ubuntu 12.04 older version of Jinj2=2.2 is causing issues with ansible2.2. Use variables with full quotes as mentioned here
