cmdline

Initial provisioning of a command line. Installs and configures essential packages and tools.

Tested on the following distributions:

• Debian buster
• Debian 9
• Ubuntu 18.04
• Ubuntu 16.04
• Ubuntu 14.04

At the time of this writing, Ubuntu bionic doesn't stable release of docker yet. If you don't plan on using this functionality, there is a good chance everything will work fine. Otherwise, you can use the nightly docker release instead of stable. Just set docker_apt_release_channel to nightly.

Requirements

Tested on Ansible 2.5 or higher.

Available variables are listed below, along with default values (see defaults/main.yml):

Following packages will be installed

cmdline_packages:
