Example inventory ¶

To manage Linux kernel modules on a given host it should be included in the debops_service_kernel_module Ansible inventory group:

[debops_service_kernel_module]
hostname

Example playbook ¶

Here's an example playbook that uses the debops-contrib.kernel_module role:

---

- name: Manage Linux kernel modules
  hosts: [ 'debops_service_kernel_module' ]
  become: True

  environment: '{{ inventory__environment | d({})
                   | combine(inventory__group_environment | d({}))
                   | combine(inventory__host_environment  | d({})) }}'

  roles:

    - role: debops-contrib.kernel_module
      tags: [ 'role::kernel_module' ]

The playbooks is shipped with this role under ./docs/playbooks/kernel_module.yml from which you can symlink it to your playbook directory. In case you use multiple DebOps Contrib roles, consider using the DebOps Contrib playbooks.

Ansible tags ¶

You can use Ansible --tags or --skip-tags parameters to limit what tasks are performed during Ansible run. This can be used after a host was first configured to speed up playbook execution, when you are sure that most of the configuration is already in the desired state.

Available role tags:

role::kernel_module: Main role tag, should be used in the playbook to execute all of the role tasks as well as role dependencies.
