Ansible role for golang-toolchain

Installs the golang toolchain.

Explanation

This role will pass the value of golang_toolchain_sha to its dependent role: ansible-role-toolchain.

golang_toolchain_sha: c2b22e6b09e856aed18bcfddbdccb3aa70c70ece

The ansible-role-toolchain will first check if the host has an existing golang toolchain installed at /opt/golang.

If so, ansible-role-toolchain will then check if there is a toolchain_version file present in /opt/golang/toolchain_version.

If the version file is present, it will then compare versions to see if we need to download a new toolchain. If the versions match, then no further work is required.

If the versions are different, ansible-role-toolchain will then proceed to download the specified toolchain version from AWS and place the tarball into the /tmp directory.

From here, the ansible-role-golang-toolchain will then delete the old toolchain and then move the newly downloaded toolchain to the correct directory, /opt/golang.

Finally, this role will then create a toolchain_version file with your specified golang_toolchain_sha and place it in /opt/golang/toolchain_version for use in future runs.

Requirements

ansible-role-toolchain must be up to date in your requirements.yml
