This role has a small test setup that is created using Molecule, libvirt (vagrant-libvirt) and QEMU/KVM. Please see my blog post Testing Ansible roles with Molecule, libvirt (vagrant-libvirt) and QEMU/KVM how to setup. The test configuration is here.

Afterwards molecule can be executed:

molecule converge

This will setup a few virtual machines (VM) with different supported Linux operating systems and installs runc. A small verification step is also included:

molecule verify

To clean up run

molecule destroy
