This role allows for maintaining Samba configuration on Ubuntu servers

• City-of-Bloomington.linux

It makes no sense to install Samba without setting up shares. Also, shares are very particular to the host they are on. So, this role expects two smb.conf template files to exist in the inventory:

• group_vars/samba/templates/smb.conf
• host_vars/{{ host }}/templates/smb.conf

The group_vars smb.conf contains global samba configuration. The host smb.conf contains the shares. The global smb.conf should be written to look for shares.conf.

- hosts: samba
  become: yes
