Dependencies

To run this playbook, you will need to run lucascbeyeler.baseline too. We do not cover any kind of server preparation, like upgrade the system or change the hostname (even put the hostname in /etc/hosts is made by commons). The motive is because all my playbooks will need some kind of preparation before executed, so to not including the same code in every single project, I made a different playbook that will do everything that is considered "common" in each one of my playbooks.

Example Playbook

    - hosts: zimbra
      become: yes
      become_method: sudo
