ansible-firefox

Ansible role for fetching and installing Firefox through various ways.

Requirements / Dependencies

This role requires the Ansible collection community.general to be installed on the system.

This role requires the python package jsonschema to be installed on the system.

pip install jsonschema

Setup

Before the role can be used it needs to be added to the machine running the playbook, and as of writing this, this role is not hosted on Ansible-Galaxy only on Github.

1. Create a requirements.yml file in the root directory of the playbook being worked on.

2. Add the following definition inside the requirements.yml file:

roles:
- name: hth-firefox
  src: https://github.com/hrafnthor/ansible-vscode.git
  scm: git
collections:
 - name: community.general

3. Install the requirements by executing

ansible-galaxy install -r .requirements.yml

This will allow any playbook run from this machine to use the role hth-firefox
