Dependencies

This role depends on a collection. Currently there is no way of handling these dependencies within roles meta and there won't be any.

• 

Install directly ansible-galaxy collection install derjd.general or via requirements.yml:

---

collections:
  - derjd.general

Example Playbook

• Most basic example

---

- hosts: servers
  become_user: root
  roles:
     - derJD.podman

• Use zfs as storage driver and let it use a different dataset

---

- hosts: servers
  become_user: root
  vars:
    podman_storage_settings:
      storage:
        driver: zfs
      storage.options.zfs:
        fsname: rpool/podman

  tasks:
    - name: zfs create rpool/podman
      community.general.zfs:
        name: rpool/podman
        state: present
        extra_zfs_properties:
          mountpoint: none

    - include_role: 
         name: derJD.podman

• Example with many config switches
