An Ansible role for setting up autofs. There are two lists/dicts that are used:

• One for remotely populated maps (autofs_empty_maps, a list which will simply create a file <auto.foo> with +auto.foo).
• One for more complex configuration (autofs_indirect_maps) which (unlike what the var name says) can be used for direct and indirect maps. This will also add the path to auto.master.

The example below will create a simple auto.home, a direct mount (auto.nobackup), and an indirect mount (auto.catdata). mounts requires name and url (the latter can be " " if desired, as shown below) and may take options (optional, will add '-') as parameters.

- hosts: foo
  roles:
    - role: oscpe262.autofs 
  vars:
    autofs_empty_maps:
      - "auto.home"
    autofs_indirect_maps:
      - name: auto.nobackup
        path: /nobackup
        options: "rw,intr,async,nfsvers=3,actime=0,tcp,browse"
        mounts:
          - name: "nfs1"
            url: nfs1.example.com:/export/nobackup
      - name: auto.bardata
        path: '/'
        options: "rw,grpid,intr,noquota"
        mounts:
          - name: "+auto.bardata"
            url: " "
