About

A slightly opinionated cookiecutter template that creates a barebones Ansible project with static inventory mostly for my own personal use. The template creates a virtual environment (venv) and installs the following inside it

• ansible
• molecule for ansible role testing
• molecule-docker run molecule tests inside a container
• ansible-lint
• flake8

Requirements

• cookiecutter
• Poetry
• pre-commit

Usage

Create a new ansible project by running

cookiecutter https://github.com/netops2devops/cookiecutter-ansible-project.git

❯ cookiecutter cookiecutter-ansible-project
