# Ansible role: rpi_boot_config
[](https://galaxy.ansible.com/infothrill/rpi_boot_config/)
Minimal role to manage config entries in a Raspberry Pi
[boot config](http://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/config-txt.md).
After changing the boot config, it will restart the Raspberry Pi and wait for
it to come back.
## Requirements
Nothing specific so far.
## Role Variables
Available variables are listed below, along with default values (see defaults/main.yml):
**boot\_config\_lines**, optional
List of verbatim config lines to be put into `/boot/config.txt` (no assertions
about uniqueness are made). Example:
```yaml
boot_config_lines:
- "gpu_mem=196"
- "dtoverlay=pi3-disable-wifi"
- "dtoverlay=pi3-disable-bt"
```
**boot\_config**, optional
Dictionary where every key translates to a unique setting in `/boot/config.txt`.
Example:
```yaml
boot_config:
gpu_mem: '196'
```
**rpi\_boot\_config\_file**, optional
Path of the Raspberry Pi boot configuration file to manage, default:
`/boot/config.txt`.
Example:
```yaml
rpi_boot_config_file: /boot/config.txt
```
**rpi\_boot\_config\_reboot**, optional
Boolean to specify if a reboot should be performed if the config changes
(default: true).
`/boot/config.txt`.
Example:
```yaml
rpi_boot_config_reboot: false
```
## Dependencies
None.
## Example Playbook
```yaml
- hosts: raspberrypis
roles:
- { role: rpi_boot_config, boot_config_lines: ['gpu_mem=196'] }
```
