⚡ Installation

Install with Ansible Galaxy

ansible-galaxy install stephrobert.openscap

Install with git

If you do not want a global installation, clone it into your roles_path.

git clone https://github.com/stephrobert/ansible-role-openscap.git  stephrobert.openscap

But I often add it as a submodule in a given playbook_dir repository.

git submodule add https://github.com/stephrobert/ansible-role-openscap.git roles/stephrobert.openscap

As the role is not managed by Ansible Galaxy, you do not have to specify the github user account.

✏️ Example Playbook

Basic usage is:

- hosts: all
  roles:
    - role: stephrobert.openscap
      vars:
        content_version: 0.1.74
        install_content: false
        install_oscap: true
        oscap_version: 1.4.0
        reports_folder: /opt/openscap-reports
        scan: false
        

⚙️ Role Variables

Variables are divided in three types.

The default vars section shows you which variables you may override in your ansible inventory. As a matter of fact, all variables should be defined there for explicitness, ease of documentation as well as overall role manageability.

The context variables are shown in section below hint you on how runtime context may affects role execution.

Default variables

Role default variables from defaults/main.yml.

Variable Name	Value
install_content	False
install_oscap	True
oscap_version	1.4.0
content_version	0.1.74
scan	False
reports_folder	/opt/openscap-reports

Context variables

Those variables from vars/*.{yml,json} are loaded dynamically during task runtime using the include_vars module.

Variables loaded from vars/main.yml.
