Ansible Collection: community.general

This repo contains the community.general Ansible Collection.

The collection includes the modules and plugins supported by Ansible community.

Installation and Usage

Installing the Collection from Ansible Galaxy

Before using the General community collection, you need to install the collection with the ansible-galaxy CLI:

ansible-galaxy collection install community.general

You can also include it in a requirements.yml file and install it via ansible-galaxy collection install -r requirements.yml using the format:

collections:
- name: community.general

Testing and Development

If you want to develop new content for this collection or improve what is already here, the easiest way to work on the collection is to clone it into one of the configured COLLECTIONS_PATHS, and work on it there.

You can find more information in the developer guide for collections
