Example Playbook

This example is taken from molecule/default/converge.yml and is tested on each push, pull request and release.

---
- name: Converge
  hosts: all
  become: true
  gather_facts: true

  roles:
    - role: robertdebock.tailscale
      # When setting the `tailscale_authkey`, a node can join automatically.
      # In case the `tailscale_authkey` is unset, registration of the node is manual.
      # tailscale_authkey: "tskey-auth-KEY_IDENTITY-KEY_SERET_KEY_SERET_KEY_SERET_KE"
      #
      # You can request the node to publish itself as an exit node.
      # tailscale_exit_node: true
      #
      # You can advertise certain routes to the Tailscale network.
      # tailscale_advertise_routes:
      #   - 10.0.0.0/24
      #   - 10.0.1.0/24
      #
      # You can give hosts a specific name:
      # tailscale_hostname: some_hostname

The machine needs to be prepared. In CI this is done using molecule/default/prepare.yml:

---
- name: Prepare
  hosts: all
  become: true
  gather_facts: false

  roles:
    - role: robertdebock.bootstrap

Also see a full explanation and example on how to use these roles.
