Role Variables

For a good overview about possible variables, please have a look into defaults/main.yml.

Example Playbook

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

    - hosts: all
      vars_files:
        - vars/main.yml    
      roles:
        - { role: i3 }

vars/main.yml

    # background image
    i3_desktop_background: "~/Bilder/wallpaper.jpg"

    # additional programms you need
    i3_packages_extra:
      - ranger

    # you want additional keybindings?
    i3_keybindings_extra:
      - keybinding:
        name: Volume (mute/unmute)
        key: $mod+F12
        exec: --no-startup-id amixer sset Master toggle
      - keybinding:
        name: Volue (default)
        key: $mod+Shift+F12
        exec: --no-startup-id amixer sset Master 40%
