Linux Ansible: post_deploy action

This action groups other actions needed when a new machine is deployed:

• upgrade_packages: Upgrades all packages and distribution.
• grow_lvm: Executes needed tasks after Linux Server deployment.
• setup_hostname: Setups hostname and resets /etc/hosts.

NOTES:

• Only Ubuntu and Debian are supported
• This action reboots the machine.

Action Variables

Using this action, you will be able to set the following variables:

• lvmap: LVM map with desired sizes. Note: size will be allocated iteratively so last partition may always be +100%FREE.
• lvmap_ignore_errors: Ignore errors when extending logical volumes. Default: no.
• install_packages: Extra packages you want to be installed.

Example:

- role: linux-ansible
  vars:
    action: post_deploy
    lvmap:
      "/": "+100%FREE"
    install_packages:
    - vim
