This directory contains an example Molecule configuration for an Ansible playbook that allows easy development and testing of the playbook.
The Molecule configuration can be run locally or in a Continuous Integration (CI) environment, to ensure the playbook is always working correctly.
To run the Molecule environment, you must have molecule (with it's docker driver) and the docker Python library installed:
pip3 install molecule[docker] docker
Additionally, there are lint tools configured to ensure code formatting is correct, so you need to make sure the lint tools are installed:
pip3 install yamllint ansible-lint
Once everything is ready, run:
molecule test
Or, if you just want to build an environment, have the playbook run inside it, then be able to log in and observe the environment, run:
molecule converge
And then, to log into the environment:
molecule login
