Install Spotify snap in Debian-like systems - Ansible module snap — Video Tutorial

How to Install Spotify snap on Debian-like systems with Ansible? I'm going to show you a live Playbook with some simple Ansible code. I'm Luca Berton and welcome to today's episode of Ansible Pilot. Ansible installs Spotify snap on Debian-like systems - `community.general.snap` - Manages snaps Today we are going to talk about the Ansible module `snap`. The full name is `community.general.snap`, it's part of `community.general` modules maintained by the Ansible Community. The purpose of the `snap` module is to Manage snaps in the target system. Parameters - name _string_ - snap name - state _string_ - present/absent - channel _string_ - "stable" - classic _boolean_ - no/yes Let me summarize the parameters of `snap` module. The only required is "name", where you specify the snap name to install or remove. The parameter "state" specifies if you would like to perform the install action ("present" option) or the remove action ("absent" option). The parameter "channel" specifies which channel to use, default the "stable" channel. The parameter "classic" allows the confinement allows a snap to have the same level of access to the system as "classic" packages.
