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: true
  gather_facts: true

  roles:
    - role: robertdebock.autofs
      autofs_maps:
        - mountpoint: /bind/mnt
          options:
            - "--timeout 60"
          directories:
            - path: mount
              server: ":/mnt"
              options:
                - "fstype=bind"
        - name: direct-mounts
          mountpoint: /-
          options:
            - "--timeout 60"
            - "--ghost"
          directories:
            - path: /bind/direct/mount
              server: ":/mnt"
              options:
                - "fstype=bind"
        - mountpoint: /do_not_exist
          state: absent
      nis_master_map: auto.master

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

---
- name: Prepare
  hosts: all
  become: true
  gather_facts: false

  roles:
    - role: robertdebock.bootstrap

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

Role Variables

The default values for the variables are set in defaults/main.yml:

---
# defaults file for autofs

# The first slash in a path will be removed, all remaining slashes will be replaced with this character.
#   Example: mountpoint=/bind/mount & autofs_slash_replace_char="-"
#   Output file name: /etc/auto.bind-mount (leading slash removed, remaining replaced with "-")
autofs_slash_replace_char: "-"

# In case you only want to configure, but not start autofs, set this to "stopped".
autofs_service_state: "started"

# Here you can configure automount mountpoints.
# autofs_maps:
#   - mountpoint: /home
