Let's now create an Ansible role from scratch. This role is a Samba file server setup on either of the big families of Linux. It serves a folder that is accessible via a shared user.
First, let's create our role folder using the ansible-galaxy command line. Before running the command, we need to change the Terminal workspace to the location in which we would like to store our Ansible roles:
cd ~/Roles/ansible-galaxy init samba.lab.edu
We should see the following output:
- samba.lab.edu was created successfully
We then create a folder with the name of the role, with the following structure of subfolders and files:
samba.lab.edu└── README.md├── defaults│ └── main.yml├── files│ ├── handlers│ └── main.yml├── meta│ └── main.yml ...
