VLC

This role was created to install vlc to noble_desktop

General

This role consists of three main steps:

Uninstalls snap vlc
Only uninstalls snap vlc if snap_remove equals false
Snap_remove checks whether Snap is installed or not. Snap_remove == false → Snap is still installed → therefore remove Snap vlc

#snap remove vlc
- name: snap remove vlc
  community.general.snap:
    name: vlc
    state: absent
  become: true
  when: snap_remove == false

#equivalent of sudo apt update
- name: Run the equivalent of "apt-get update"
  ansible.builtin.apt:
    update_cache: yes

#install vlc
- name: Install vlc
  ansible.builtin.apt:
    name: vlc
    state: present
  when: vlc_conf == true
  become: true

Name	Type	Default value	Purpose	Comment	Role

Including an example of how to use your role (for instance, with variables passed in as parameters) is always nice for users too:

- hosts: servers
  roles:
     - { role: username.rolename, x: 42 }
