Solved Scripting - How do you store your credentials and call them later?

@stacksofplates so how do I check to see if this role is installed?

https://github.com/geerlingguy/ansible-role-homebrew because this seems like the thing people recommend using

[DustinB3403]

Fedora Server 30 - with ansible --version 3.7.3 installed

Can't be 3.7.3. They just released 2.8 less than a month ago (that's the Python version).

To install a role use ansible-galaxy. So you would run:

ansible-galaxy install geerlingguy.homebrew

If you go to the galaxy site for the roles it gives you all of the info: https://galaxy.ansible.com/geerlingguy/homebrew

PS I learn from seeing and doing, rather than reading. Just as an FYI.

How do you learn what to do without reading or seeing how TF to do it first? Not capable of learning on your own, is that what you are saying?

I'm sure there are Ansible classes, courses, videos, etc out there.

@Obsolesce get bent, learning from seeing and doing is a form of learning.

So by hand-holding only? No offense, just trying to understand what you mean by seeing.

By seeing how others have done something, by having someone who has done it before. Than when RTFM doesn't explain clearly what the hell is going on.

It's not hand holding to ask a question here is it? If so we'd all better close our accounts or only post meme's about spiceworks.
