How to automatically install Ansible Galaxy roles?

Question

All my Ansible playbooks/roles are checked in to my git repo.

However, for Ansible Galaxy roles I always have to explicitly download them one by one on every machine

Answer 1

If requirements.yml resides in the roles directory of your project, then Tower/AWX installs the roles automatically.

Answer 2

Here, my requirements are on the role and used in install.yml

main.yml

 # tasks file for MY_ROLE
- name: Install requirements
  local_action: command ansible-galaxy install -r {{ role_path }}/requirements.yml -p /etc/ansible/roles

- include_tasks: install.yml
