systemd

Ansible role that can be used to deploy unit files and manage systemd units. Role is a convenience wrapper around systemd and template Ansible Core modules.

Requirements

See below

Collection requirements

In order to manage rpm-ostree systems, the role requires modules from external collections. Use the following command to install them:

ansible-galaxy collection install -vv -r meta/collection-requirements.yml

Role Variables

List of variables consumed by the role follows, note that none of them is mandatory.

systemd_unit_files

List of systemd unit file names that should be deployed to managed nodes.

systemd_unit_file_templates

List of systemd unit file names that should be deployed to managed nodes. Each name should correspond to Jinja template file that will be templated out to managed nodes. If the local file has a .j2 suffix it will be stripped to form the service name.

systemd_dropins

List of systemd drop in files that will be templated out to managed hosts and will extend respective systemd unit files. Name of the unit file that given entry extends is encoded in the name of the entry itself. For example, for entry foo.service.conf it is expected that foo.service.conf Jinja template exists and resulting dropin file will extend foo.service unit file. If the local file has a .j2 suffix it will be stripped to form the service name.

systemd_started_units

List of unit names that shall be started via systemd.

systemd_stopped_units

List of unit names that shall be stopped via systemd.

systemd_restarted_units

List of unit names that shall be restarted via systemd.

systemd_reloaded_units

List of unit names that shall be reloaded via systemd.

systemd_enabled_units

List of unit files that shall be enabled via systemd.

systemd_disabled_units

List of unit files that shall be disabled via systemd.

systemd_masked_units

List of unit files that shall be masked via systemd.

systemd_unmasked_units

List of unit files that shall be unmasked via systemd.

Example of setting the variables:

systemd_unit_files:
  - foo.service
  - bar.service
systemd_dropins:
  - cups.service.conf.j2
  - avahi-daemon.service.conf.j2
systemd_started_units:
  - foo.service
  - bar.service
systemd_enabled_units:
  - foo.service
  - bar.service
