# Ansible Role: Swap
[![CI](https://github.com/geerlingguy/ansible-role-swap/workflows/CI/badge.svg?event=push)](https://github.com/geerlingguy/ansible-role-swap/actions?query=workflow%3ACI)
An Ansible Role that configures swap space on Linux.
## Requirements
None.
## Role Variables
Available variables are listed below, along with default values (see `defaults/main.yml`):
swap_file_path: /swapfile
The location of the swap file on the server.
swap_file_size_mb: '512'
How large (in mebibytes) to make the swap file.
swap_swappiness: '60'
The `vm.swappiness` value to be configured in sysconfig.
swap_file_state: present
If you wish to _remove_ your swapfile, and disable swap, set this to `absent`. Generally you'd probably want to set this to `present`.
swap_file_create_command: "dd if=/dev/zero of={{ swap_file_path }} bs=1M count={{ swap_file_size_mb }}"
The command used to create the swap file. You could switch to using `fallocate` to write the swap file more quickly, though there may be inconsistencies if not writing the file with `dd`.
## Dependencies
None.
