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: yes
  gather_facts: yes

  roles:
    - role: robertdebock.httpd
    - role: robertdebock.nextcloud
      nextcloud_apps:
        - name: richdocumentscode
      nextcloud_settings:
        - name: max_chunk_size
          section: files
          value: 0

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

---
- name: prepare
  hosts: all
  become: yes
  gather_facts: no

  roles:
    - role: robertdebock.bootstrap
    - role: robertdebock.core_dependencies
    - role: robertdebock.cron
    - role: robertdebock.buildtools
    - role: robertdebock.epel
    - role: robertdebock.python_pip
    - role: robertdebock.openssl
      openssl_items:
        - name: apache-httpd
          common_name: "{{ ansible_fqdn }}"
    - role: robertdebock.selinux
    - role: robertdebock.httpd
    - role: robertdebock.redis

- name: continue prepare with facts
  hosts: all
  become: yes
  gather_facts: yes

  pre_tasks:
    - name: include remi
      ansible.builtin.include_role:
        name: robertdebock.remi
      when:
        - ansible_distribution != "Fedora"
      vars:
        remi_enabled_repositories:
          - php74

  roles:
    - role: robertdebock.php
      php_memory_limit: 512M
      php_upload_max_filesize: 8G
      php_post_max_size: 8G
    - role: robertdebock.php_fpm
    - role: robertdebock.mysql
      mysql_databases:
        - name: nextcloud
          encoding: utf8
          collation: utf8_bin
      mysql_users:
        - name: nextcloud
          password: N3x4Cl0ud
          priv: "nextcloud.*:ALL"
