Setup tests with Molecule ?

[N07070]

It would be nice for this role to be tested against a molecule configuration. Makes it easier to catch easy mistakes ! :)

Yes indeed.

Unfortunately, I have never seriously dealt with molecule. I had once built github actions that run ansible to notice gross errors, but docker containers with systemd tasks didn't work for me (yet). See https://github.com/marketplace/actions/check-ansible-debian-latest

Do you maybe have a molecule setup you'd like to share with this ansible role running via github action @N07070 ? Then I would be very interested in that.

I'm not sure about using github actions, as I favor using self-hosted git and CI solutions. But I'd me happy to add local testing with molecule for role development soon.

@DO1JLR Just came over this repo looking for a nice ansible playbook for installing gitea and found this issue.

For containers, I recommend using the different types of containers from geerlingguy with systemd-integration for testing with molecule:

https://hub.docker.com/r/geerlingguy/docker-rockylinux8-ansible
is one of them, but there is also images available for RHEL, CentOS, Debian, Ubuntu, etc.
