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.vault_initialize

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
    - role: robertdebock.core_dependencies
    - role: robertdebock.hashicorp
    - role: robertdebock.vault
    - role: robertdebock.vault_configuration
      vault_configuration_listener_tcp:
        address: "127.0.0.1:8200"
        cluster_address: "127.0.0.1:8201"
        tls_disable: true
      vault_configuration_storage_raft:
        path: "/opt/vault/data"
        node_id: "{{ ansible_hostname }}"

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

The default values for the variables are set in defaults/main.yml:

---
# defaults file for vault_initialize

# The address where Vault can be found. Simiar to `VAULT_ADDR`.
vault_initialize_addr: "http://localhost:8200"

# You can show the (sensitive) information of initializing Vault. This includes the root-token and unseal-keys.
vault_initialize_show_information: true

The following roles are used to prepare a system. You can prepare your system in another way.
