Hi Peeps,

Need your insight on this. I am trying to install tripwire on our nodes. Install files are coming from a local repo and we fetch it via WGET in .tgz extension.  
Individual steps in a host are like this.

- cd /opt
- wget the .tgz file
- extract tar
- rpm -ivh
- run a shell to update .conf
- restarting service

Tried searching if there are tripwire modules and available playbooks but cant find one. Hope you can help.

Thanks!

unarchive module cover these three steps.

The yum module can do this.

The command module or use the template module.

The service module.

It very basic Ansible so maybe you should just go for it and make the role yourself.
