git repos #3

Closed edsu closed 8 years ago

edsu commented 8 years ago

I don't know anything about ansible so I guess I should be quiet, especially since I'm still hazy on playbooks, roles and plays. But the little convo I've had with other people who use it, it seems like people tend to put roles and playbooks into their own git repos? Is there any value in doing that instead of having everything lumped together?

Interesting. Do you have any links to repos laid out that way?

My original thinking was driven by convenience, e.g., Clone this repo, get all of our playbooks.

I definitely see the value in keeping it simple to start out with. From the convo I had in #code4lib slack it seems that it's considered useful to publish roles that don't already exist using ansible-galaxy? Did we have to create our own roles, or are we just using already existing ones?

Maybe if we develop any reusable roles we can spin them out of automation. Gonna close this till I understand enough of the terminology to make more sense.
