It will partition, format/mount filesystems, download/extract the stage tarball, configure locales and timezone, build a kernel (using genkernel), install/configure syslog and cron daemons, install grub, unmount filesystems, and reboot.
In order to use this role, you will need to boot the InstallCD image with parameters like:
gentoo dosshd passwd=some_root_pass
create a playbook:
---
- hosts: all
remote_user: root
vars:
# The 'portage' module breaks on py3, which is the default in the stage
# tarball
ansible_python_interpreter: /usr/bin/python2
roles:
- gentoo_install
and then run ansible with something like:
$ ansible-playbook -i <IP address>, -e ansible_password=some_root_pass -e gentoo_install_hostname=myhostname gentoo_install.yml
