Ansible Playbook Error: Missing 'system' Role and Invalid Block Attribute

[jamesb5959]

Hello,
I'm encountering issues while trying to run your Ansible, and I'm hoping to get some guidance. I apologize for the inconvenience I've never worked with Ansible before, so I appreciate any help you can provide.

1. I installed the necessary collections with the following command:

ansible-galaxy collection install -r requirements.yml

This step completed without any issues.
2. I then executed the playbook using:

ansible-playbook -i inventory arch.yml

The Errors I Encountered

Error 1: Missing Role
The playbook complains that it can’t find the system role:

ERROR! the role 'system' was not found in /home/user/.config/ansible/roles:/home/user/.config/ansible/roles:/usr/share/ansible/roles:/etc/ansible/roles:/home/user/.config/ansible

The error points to line 4 of arch.yml:

roles:
  - role: system
    ^ here

Error 2: Invalid Block Attribute
After attempting to fix the role issue (such as copying directories or tweaking arch.yml), I encountered another error:

ERROR! 'hosts' is not a valid attribute for a Block
The error appears to be in '/home/user/.config/ansible/roles/system/tasks/main.yml': line 1, column 3, but may be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.

The offending block in the tasks file starts with:

- name: System Tasks
  ^ here

What I've Tried

• Copied files from roles/arch/ into roles/ to see if it would resolve the lookup for the system role.
• Modified arch.yml in an attempt to adjust the role declaration.

Neither approach has resolved the issues.

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks you!

Hi,

Sorry to respond a little late. Im going to remove the ansible config all together because there is already the manual installation which is not to long and pretty easy to follow.
