ansible-role-pathvector

An Ansible role to install and configure Pathvector & Bird.

Requirements

Currently only tested on Debian 12, so use with caution on other Debian versions.

Role Variables

There are not many variables for this role at the moment. The intended use for this role is to specify your own Pathvector configuration files in the files/ directory where your playbook exists, so that they can be transferred to the host & deployed with Pathvector. It's possible in the future this role will templatize the Pathvector configuration so that it can all be defined in variables.

Review the Pathvector docs to understand what else you can set.

Examples vars:

vars:
    pathvector_repo: "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/pathvector.asc] https://repo.pathvector.io/apt/ stable main"
    pathvector_config_path: "/etc/pathvector.yml"
