## [Example Playbook](#example-playbook)
This example is taken from [`molecule/default/converge.yml`](https://github.com/buluma/ansible-role-hostname/blob/master/molecule/default/converge.yml) and is tested on each push, pull request and release.
```yaml
---
- name: Converge
hosts: all
become: true
gather_facts: true
roles:
- role: buluma.hostname
```
The machine needs to be prepared. In CI this is done using [`molecule/default/prepare.yml`](https://github.com/buluma/ansible-role-hostname/blob/master/molecule/default/prepare.yml):
```yaml
---
- name: Prepare
hosts: all
become: true
gather_facts: false
roles:
- role: buluma.bootstrap
```
Also see a [full explanation and example](https://buluma.github.io/how-to-use-these-roles.html) on how to use these roles.
## [Role Variables](#role-variables)
The default values for the variables are set in [`defaults/main.yml`](https://github.com/buluma/ansible-role-hostname/blob/master/defaults/main.yml):
```yaml
---
# defaults file for hostname
# The hostname to set. By default whatever the inventory is set to.
hostname: "{{ inventory_hostname_short }}"
# Should the machine be rebooted when the hostname is changed?
hostname_reboot: true
```
