Getting started

Example inventory

To install the memcached service on a host, you can add it in the [debops_service_memcached] Ansible inventory group:

[debops_service_memcached]
hostname

Example playbook

If you are using this role without DebOps, here's an example Ansible playbook that uses the debops.memcached role:

---

- name: Manage memcached server
  collections: [ 'debops.debops', 'debops.roles01',
                 'debops.roles02', 'debops.roles03' ]
  hosts: [ 'debops_service_memcached' ]
  become: True

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

  roles:

    - role: etc_services
      tags: [ 'role::etc_services', 'skip::etc_services' ]
      etc_services__dependent_list:
        - '{{ memcached__etc_services__dependent_list }}'

    - role: ferm
      tags: [ 'role::ferm', 'skip::ferm' ]
      ferm__dependent_rules:
        - '{{ memcached__ferm__dependent_rules }}'

    - role: memcached
      tags: [ 'role::memcached', 'skip::memcached' ]

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 host is first configured to speed up playbook execution, when you are sure that most of the configuration has not been changed.

Available role tags:

role::memcached

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