Hi So this is a refined version of a question I asked before. I have a role that aims to: - Do some specific change such as creating users - Install nodejs and ruby using rbenv - Run a rails app I’m using two dependencies from Ansible galaxy for that: - [nodesource.node](https://github.com/nodesource/ansible-nodejs-role) - [zzet.rbenv](https://github.com/zzet/ansible-rbenv-role) How I do that at the moment is to install those roles using a requirements.txt file, and include them in my site.yml: - hosts: all user: ubuntu sudo: true roles: - base-ami - nodesource.node - zzet.rbenv - rails Now I have two questions. 1. Is there a way to include these roles from within one of my roles instead of the site.yml file so that I’ll have just one role (base-ami) instead of four showing up in my site.yml. I tried to do something like this: - name: Include the nodesource.node role include: zzet.rbenv But then it would expect to see the role in my Ansible playbook. Is there a way to include a Ansible galaxy role from within my role? 1. I like what zzet.rbenv does but I want to change the version of Ruby it installs. According to the github page, that is controlled like this: rbenv: env: user ruby\_version: 2.1.2 How can I include this Ansible galaxy role in my base-ami role and then override these values?
