Example Playbook

---
- name: reboot
  hosts: all
  gather_facts: no
  become: yes

  roles:
    - role: robertdebock.bootstrap
    - role: robertdebock.reboot

You can also include a role when something changed.

- name: reboot
  hosts: all
  gather_facts: no
  become: yes

  tasks:
    - name: do something that requires a reboot.
      sestatus:
        state: disabled
      register do_something

    - name: include reboot role
      include_role:
        name: robertdebock.reboot
      when:
        - do_something.changed

Normally a notify using handlers is perfect for changed tasks, but the module include_role can't be used in a handler.

Linting will suggest to move that include_role to a handler. To instruct ansible-lint to ignore this issue, use one of these two methods:

1. Tag the task In your playbook.yml:

    - name: include reboot role
      include_role:
        name: robertdebock.reboot
      when:
        - do_something.changed
      tags:
        - skip_ansible_lint

1. Let molecule skip a test In molecule/*/molecule.yml:

provisioner:
  name: ansible
  lint:
    name: ansible-lint
    options:
      x:
        - ANSIBLE0016

To install this role: - Install this role individually using `ansible-galaxy install robertdebock.reboot
