Ansible Role: systemd-conf

Ansible role to configure systemd-networkd profiles, systemd config files, systemd timers and systemd service files. This Project is a fork of ansible-systemd-networkd of Anthony Ruhier. Thanks to Anthony for the good work with the template

Example Playbook

1. Configure a network profile

systemd_conf_network:
  eth0:
    - Match:
      - Name: "eth0"
    - Network:
      - DHCP: "no"
      - IPv6AcceptRouterAdvertisements: "no"
      - DNS: 8.8.8.8
      - DNS: 8.8.4.4
      - Domains: "your.tld"

      - Address: "192.0.2.176/24"
      - Gateway: "192.0.2.1"

      - Address: "2001:db8::302/64"
      - Address: "fc00:0:0:103::302/64"
      - Gateway: "2001:db8::1"

It will create a eth0.network profile in /etc/systemd/network/, and enable systemd-networkd and systemd-resolved.

Every key under systemd_conf_* corresponds to the profile name to create (.network in systemd_conf_network, .link in systemd_conf_link, etc…). Then every key under the profile name is a section documented in systemd-networkd, which contains the couples of option: value for your profile. Each couple is then converted to the format option=value.

2. Configure a bonding interface

systemd_conf_netdev:
  bond0:
    - NetDev:
      - Name: "bond0"
      - Kind: "bond"
    - Bond:
      - Mode: "802.3ad"
      - LACPTransmitRate: "fast"

systemd_conf_network:
  bond0:
    - Match:
      - Name: "eth*"
    - Network:
      - DHCP: "yes"
      - Bond: "bond0"

What will create an LACP bond interface bond0, containing all interfaces starting by eth.

3. Configure a general config file like /etc/systemd/resolved.conf

systemd_conf:
  resolved:
    - Resolved:
      - DNS: "8.8.8.8,8.8.8.4.4"
      - FallbackDNS: "1.1.1.1"
      - Domains: "myDomain"
      - DNSSEC: "yes"

4. Configure a systemd service

systemd_conf_service:
    iwd:
    - Unit:
      - Description: "Wireless Service"
    - Service:
      - ExecStart: "/usr/lib/iwd/iwd"
      - LimitNPROC: "1"
    - Install:
      - WantedBy: "multi-user.target"

5. Configure a systemd timer

systemd_conf_timer:
    knock:
    - Unit:
      - Description: "Run knock.service on boot"
    - Timer:
      - OnActiveSec: "0"
      - OnUnitActiveSec: "11h"
      - Unit: "knock.service"
    - Install:
      - WantedBy: "timers.target"
