Ansible Role: `loki`

Ansible role to setup Loki.

If latest is set for loki_version, the role tries to install the latest release version.
Please use this with caution, as incompatibilities between releases may occur!

The binaries are installed below /usr/local/bin/loki/${loki_version} and later linked to /usr/bin. This should make it possible to downgrade relatively safely.

The Prometheus archive is stored on the Ansible controller, unpacked and then the binaries are copied to the target system. The cache directory can be defined via the environment variable CUSTOM_LOCAL_TMP_DIRECTORY. By default it is ${HOME}/.cache/ansible/loki. If this type of installation is not desired, the download can take place directly on the target system. However, this must be explicitly activated by setting loki_direct_download to true.
