Example Playbook

- hosts: jellyfish
  roles:
     - { role: geekoops-next }

More extended example, where we use "192.168.122.1" as DHCP server (i.e. the NEXT server is only DHCP proxy). This works well in case you want to use an external DHCP server and use another machine as NEXT server without providing DHCP.

- hosts: jellyfish
  roles:
     - role: geekoops-next
       vars:
         config_firewall: true
         firewall_zone: "public"
         dhcp_range: "192.168.122.1,proxy,255.255.255.0"
         prompt: "My awesome network boot server"
