reboot

The purpose of this role is to reboot your system.

There is a module for rebooting in Ansible 2.7 and later, eventually this role can be replaced by that module. So far the reboot module misses a few features.

Example Playbook

This example is taken from molecule/default/playbook.yml:

---
- name: Converge
  hosts: all
  gather_facts: false
  become: true

  roles:
    - robertdebock.bootstrap
    - robertdebock.reboot

Role Variables

These variables are set in defaults/main.yml:

---
# defaults file for reboot

# How long to wait before sending a reboot.
reboot_delay: 4

# Number of seconds to wait before checking if the machine is up.
reboot_up_delay: 8

# You can specify a message for rebooting, easier for auditing.
reboot_message: "Ansible role robertdebock.reboot initiated a reboot."

Requirements

• Access to a repository containing packages, likely on the internet.
• A recent version of Ansible. (Tests run on the last 3 release of Ansible.)

The following roles can be installed to ensure all requirements are met, using ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml:
