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.update

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.

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

---
# defaults file for update

# For APT (Debian/Ubuntu) only: remove unused dependency packages for all module states except `build-dep'
update_autoremove: false

# For APT (Debian/Ubuntu) only: apt_upgrade type which can be: dist, full, yes, or safe
update_upgrade_command: dist

# For APT (Debian/Ubuntu) only: update the apt cache if it's older than the cache_valid_time. Set in seconds.
update_cache_valid_time: 1

# When updating systems, a reboot may be required. Here you can select to:
# "yes": Always reboot when packages have changed.
# "no": Never reboot when packages have changed.
update_reboot: true

# You can exclude certain packages from being updated.
# Some Ansible modules do not support this option, so this variable works for only:
# - apt
# - dnf
# - yum
#
# Example:
# update_excluded_packages:
#   - kernel
update_excluded_packages: []

The following roles are used to prepare a system. You can prepare your system in another way.
