We use Ansible here for configuration management but I'm new to Ansible and would like your help with Ansible NTP Roles. This is what I have so far: /roles/base/tasks/main.yml: --- ## PLAYBOOK TO INSTALL AND CONFIGURE NTP ON REDHAT/DEBIAN/SLES/UBUNTU SYSTEMS --- ## Playbook to Install and Configure NTP on RedHat/Debian/SLES/Ubuntu Systems - hosts: roles: - ntp ... vars: Debian.yaml: --- ntp_package: ntp ntp_service: ntp ntp_config: /etc/ntp.conf ntp_servers: - 0.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org - 1.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org - 2.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org - 3.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org ... Redhat.yaml: --- ntp_package: ntp ntp_service: ntpd ntp_config: /etc/ntp.conf ntp_servers: - 0.redhat.pool.ntp.org iburst - 1.redhat.pool.ntp.org iburst - 2.redhat.pool.ntp.org iburst - 3.redhat.pool.ntp.org iburst ... Sles.yaml: --- ntp_package: ntp ntp_service: ntpd ntp_config: /etc/ntp.conf ntp_servers: - 0.sles.pool.ntp.org iburst - 1.sles.pool.ntp.org iburst - 2.sles.pool.ntp.org iburst - 3.sles.pool.ntp.org iburst ... Ubuntu.yaml: --- ntp_package: ntp ntp_service: ntp ntp_config: /etc/ntp.conf ntp_servers: - 0.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org - 1.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org - 2.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org - 3.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org ... handlers: main.yaml: --- # handlers file for ntp - name: restart ntp service: name: "{{ ntp_daemon }}" state: restarted when: ntp_enabled | bool ... defaults: main.yaml: --- # defaults file for ntp ntp_enabled: true ntp_timezone: America/Denver # ntpdate_server: pool.ntp.org ntp_manage_config: false # NTP server area configuration (leave empty for 'Worldwide'). # See: http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Servers/NTPPoolServers ntp_area: '' ntp_servers: - "0{{ '.' + ntp_area if ntp_area else '' }}.pool.ntp.org iburst" - "1{{ '.' + ntp_area if ntp_area else '' }}.pool.ntp.org iburst" - "2{{ '.' + ntp_area if ntp_area else '' }}.pool.ntp.org iburst" - "3{{ '.' + ntp_area if ntp_area else '' }}.pool.ntp.org iburst" ntp_restrict: - "127.0.0.1" - "::1" ... I need Roles for RHEL 6/7; SLES 11/12/15; Debian 6/7/8/9; Ubuntu 12/14/16. I need the ntp state to be enabled! I don't know if I should use the ntp config file! I don't know if there is a ntp module that I should use! I would really appreciate your help! Some direction would be greatly appreciated!
