Error while running playbook consisting of roles - Ansible

0 votes

I've created my first ansible role and I'm getting an error.

---
- hosts: webservers
  roles:
    - nginx

Error:

ERROR! the role 'nginx' was not found in /root/roles:/root:/etc/ansible/roles

The error appears to have been in '/root/server.yml': line 4, column 7, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.

The offending line appears to be:

  roles:
    - nginx

You get this error because ansible was not able to find nginx role in your file hierarchy. 

If you want to use a role named nginx, ansible will try to load a file nginx/tasks/main.yml in one of your roles folders.

Copy into your nginx role folder this code: https://github.com/jdauphant/ansible-role-nginx

And use it as described in its README.md
