## [Example Playbook](#example-playbook)
This example is taken from [`molecule/default/converge.yml`](https://github.com/robertdebock/ansible-role-tigervnc/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: robertdebock.tigervnc
```
The machine needs to be prepared. In CI this is done using [`molecule/default/prepare.yml`](https://github.com/robertdebock/ansible-role-tigervnc/blob/master/molecule/default/prepare.yml):
```yaml
---
- name: Prepare
hosts: all
become: true
gather_facts: false
roles:
- role: robertdebock.bootstrap
- role: robertdebock.core_dependencies
- role: robertdebock.gnome
- role: robertdebock.users
users_groups:
- name: vncgroup
users:
- name: vncuser
sudo_options: "ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL"
group: vncgroup
```

tigervnc_username: vncuser

# Connecting to tigervnc-server requires a password.
tigervnc_password: vncpass
# Use existing user's vnc paswword
