    - role: portainer
      uptime_url: portainer.somehost.somewhere
    - role: traefik

Deployment and Removal

Sometimes you need to manually stop the running containers to get a clean run when redeploying

systemctl --user stop container-portainer.service

When deploying pr removing in conjunction with other podman based roles, run each deployment separately. Currently shared logic surrounding the control of user scope systemd will conflict when multiple podman users are executing tasks within the same ansible context.

ansible-playbook -i hosts site.yml --tags=firewalld,traefik --limit=somehost
ansible-playbook -i hosts site.yml --tags=portainer --limit=somehost

Deploy

ansible-playbook -i hosts site.yml --tags=firewalld,traefik --limit=somehost
ansible-playbook -i hosts site.yml --tags=portainer --limit=somehost

Remove

ansible-playbook -i hosts site.yml --tags=firewalld,traefik --extra-vars "container_state=absent firewall_action=remove" --limit=somehost
ansible-playbook -i hosts site.yml --tags=portainer --extra-vars "container_state=absent" --limit=somehost
