Variables

The following variables are supported:

packages_pip

This list can be modified by passing a packages_pip array when including the role on a playbook or via –extra-vars from a terminal.

If you want to install a specific package version, append the version to the package name.

This variable is empty by default.

# Including from terminal.
ansible localhost -m include_role -a name=constrict0r.pyp -K -e \
    "{packages_pip: ['bottle==0.12.17', 'whisper']}"

# Including on a playbook.
- hosts: servers
  roles:
    - role: constrict0r.pyp
      packages_pip:
        - bottle==0.12.17
        - whisper

# To a playbook from terminal.
ansible-playbook -i tests/inventory tests/test-playbook.yml -K -e \
    "{packages_pip: ['bottle==0.12.17', 'whisper']}"

configuration

Absolute file path or URL to a .yml file that contains all or some of the variables supported by this role.

It is recommended to use a .yml or .yaml extension for the configuration file.

This variable is empty by default.

# Using file path.
ansible localhost -m include_role -a name=constrict0r.pyp -K -e \
    "configuration=/home/username/my-config.yml"

# Using URL.
