This role was from https://github.com/gentoo-ansible/role-base/ and is a starting point that lays down the basics for subsequent roles. It is required to be run before ../proxy_role Also look at the variables in defaults/main.yml to customize the role, and double-check the settings in vars/*.yml. It is multi-target and should run on Gentoo2, Debian4, Devuan5, Ubuntu18 athough only tested on Gentoo. To bring it up to date, just copy the existing files in vars and maybe tasks to the new name and edit to suit, but be advised that it is systemd-challenged, like its author.
