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.swap
      swap_files:
        - path: /my.swap
          size: 1024

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.sysctl

Also see a full explanation and example on how to use these roles.

# swap_files:
#   - path: /my.swap
