Ansible Galaxy
Ansible Galaxy is a galaxy website where users can share roles and to a command-line tool for installing, creating, and managing roles.
Ansible Galaxy gives greater visibility to one of Ansible's most exciting features, such as application installation or reusable roles for server configuration. Lots of people share roles in the Ansible Galaxy.
To work with Ansible Galaxy, you need to use the ansible-galaxy command and its templates. Roles must be downloaded before they used in the playbooks. They are placed into the default directory that is /etc/ansible/roles, also depends on your version, they might placed in your current user home directory.
If roles are stored in /etc/ansible/roles you have to have sudo access.
Currently we don't have any roles in default place:
[[email protected] demo-galaxy]$ ls /etc/ansible/roles/
ansible-galaxy search searches for roles on the Ansible Galaxy server. Lets search for apache for example:[[email protected] demo-galaxy]$ ansible-galaxy search apache
Found 3237 roles matching your search. Showing first 1000.

- geerlingguy.mysql (3.3.2) was installed successfully
Lets take look at what it has downloaded:
[[email protected] demo-galaxy]$
[[email protected] demo-galaxy]$ ls /home/user1/.ansible/roles/
geerlingguy.apache geerlingguy.mysql
[[email protected] demo-galaxy]$
[[email protected] demo-galaxy]$ cd /home/user1/.ansible/roles/
[[email protected] roles]$
[[email protected] roles]$ cd geerlingguy.apache/
[[email protected] geerlingguy.apache]$ ls
defaults handlers LICENSE meta molecule README.md tasks templates vars
[[email protected] demo-galaxy]$
[[email protected] geerlingguy.apache]$ cd ~/demo-galaxy/
[[email protected] demo-galaxy]$
For using downloaded role, we have to create a simple playbook:
---
#Sample playbook for galaxy and roles galaxy-playbook.yaml
- hosts: all
become: yes
roles:
- geerlingguy.apache
- geerlingguy.mysql
and like always run it:
[[email protected] demo-galaxy]$ ansible-playbook galaxy-playbook.yaml

To upload a role to ansibel galaxy, first you have to upload it to your github project and next log in to your ansible galaxy account and pull that, That's all.
