- (GH-8) Fixed deprecation warnings in Ansible 2.0 (partial credit: [Ian Young](https://github.com/iangreenleaf))

### Removed
|
||||
|
||||
- The `version:` field in `meta/main.yml` was removed because it is no longer accepted in Ansible 2.0. Unfortunately, this change breaks compatibility with `librarian-ansible`. For more info on this issue, see [ansible/ansible#](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/13496).

|
||||
An Ansible role for setting up Samba as a file server on RedHat- or Debian-based linux distros. Specifically, the responsibilities of this role are to:
|
||||
|
||||
- Install the necessary packages
|
||||
- Configure SELinux settings
|
||||
- Configure SELinux settings (when SELinux is active)
|
||||
- Create share directories
|
||||
- Manage users and passwords
|
||||
- Manage Samba users and passwords
|
||||
- Manage access to shares
|
||||
|
||||
Setting the firewall is not a concern of this role, so you should configure this using another role (e.g. [bertvv.el7](https://galaxy.ansible.com/list#/roles/2305)).
|
||||
The following are not considered concerns of this role, and you should configure these using another role (e.g. [bertvv.el7](https://galaxy.ansible.com/bertvv/el7/):
|
||||
|
||||
- Managing firewall settings.
|
||||
- Creating system users. Samba users should already exist as system users.
|
||||
|
||||
**If you like/use this role, please consider giving it a star! Thanks!**
|
||||
|
||||
## Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
- SELinux is expected to be running
|
||||
- Samba users should already exist as system users. You can take a look at role [bertvv.el7](https://galaxy.ansible.com/list#/roles/2305) that does all this and more.

See the [test playbook](https://github.com/bertvv/ansible-role-samba/blob/tests/test.yml)
|

|
||||
## Testing
|
||||
|
||||
The `tests` directory contains tests for this role in the form of a Vagrant environment.
|
||||
### Setting up the test environment
|
||||
|
||||
- [`test.yml`](tests/test.yml) is a minimal playbook that only sets the NetBios name (the only required variable)
|
||||
- [`test-full.yml`](tests/test-full.yml) is a more complete playbook that applies most features of this role.
|
||||
Tests for this role are provided in the form of a Vagrant environment that is kept in a separate branch, `tests`. I use [git-worktree(1)](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-worktree) to include the test code into the working directory. Instructions for running the tests:
|
||||
|
||||
The directory `tests/roles/samba` is a symbolic link that should point to the root of this project in order to work. To create it, do
|
||||
1. Fetch the tests branch: `git fetch origin tests`
|
||||
2. Create a Git worktree for the test code: `git worktree add tests tests` (remark: this requires at least Git v2.5.0). This will create a directory `tests/`.
|
||||
3. `cd tests/`
|
||||
4. `vagrant up` will then create test VMs for all supported distros and apply a test playbook (`test.yml`) to each one.
|
||||
|
||||
```ShellSession
|
||||
$ cd tests/
|
||||
$ mkdir roles
|
||||
$ ln -frs ../../PROJECT_DIR roles/samba
|
||||
### Issues
|
||||
|
||||
On Ubuntu 16.04, setting up the VM may fail while running the test playbook because a background process is running the package manager. The output looks like:
|
||||
|
||||
```

||||

You may want to change the base box into one that you like. The current one is a base box I generated based on Box-Cutter's [CentOS Packer template](https://github.com/boxcutter/centos). It is shared on Atlas as [bertvv/centos71](https://atlas.hashicorp.com/bertvv/boxes/centos71/).
|
||||
The workaround is waiting a bit and running `vagrant provision` again.
