Ansible Galaxy
What is 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:
1
[[email protected] demo-galaxy]$ ls /etc/ansible/roles/
