Installation¶

Install with Ansible Galaxy¶

ansible-galaxy install archf.workstation

Basic usage is:

- hosts: all
  roles:
    - role: archf.workstation

Install with git¶

If you do not want a global installation, clone it into your roles_path.

git clone git@github.com:archf/ansible-workstation.git /path/to/roles_path

But I often add it as a submdule in a given playbook_dir repository.

git submodule add git@github.com:archf/ansible-workstation.git <playbook_dir>/roles/workstation

As the role is not managed by Ansible Galaxy, you do not have to specify the github user account.

Basic usage is:

- hosts: all
  roles:
  - role: workstation

Ansible role dependencies¶

None.

Author Information¶

Role stack¶

This role was carefully selected to be part an ultimate deck of roles to manage your infrastructure.

All roles’ documentation is wrapped in this convenient guide.

This README was generated using ansidoc. This tool is available on pypi!

pip3 install ansidoc

# validate by running a dry-run (will output result to stdout)
ansidoc --dry-run <rolepath>

# generate you role readme file
ansidoc <rolepath>

You can even use it programatically from sphinx. Check it out.
