## [Example Playbook](#example-playbook)

This example is taken from `molecule/default/converge.yml` and is tested on each push, pull request and release.
```yaml
---
- name: Converge
  hosts: all
  become: yes
  gather_facts: yes

  vars:
    dhcpd_subnets:
      - network: "{{ ansible_default_ipv4.network }}"
        netmask: "255.255.255.0"

  roles:
    - role: robertdebock.dhcpd
```

The machine needs to be prepared. In CI this is done using `molecule/default/prepare.yml`:
```yaml
---
- name: Prepare
  hosts: all
  gather_facts: no
  become: yes

  roles:
    - role: robertdebock.bootstrap
    - role: robertdebock.apt_autostart
    - role: robertdebock.core_dependencies
```
