Installing NodeJS LTS for Ansible



I'm looking for an appropriate Ansible Role or Ansible YAML file for installing NodeJS LTS on a Ubuntu 16.04.3 xenial system. I tried more than 10 Ansible roles from Galaxy but didn't find any of them working (throws error such as potentially dangerous to add this PPA etc..


potentially dangerous to add this PPA etc.



Can anyone provide any Ansible playbook or suggest me a role to install NodeJS LTS on Ubuntu 16.04?





Do you know what are the steps to install it without Ansible? If so, why don't you create your own role?

Here is the working example:


---
- hosts: all
gather_facts: yes
become: yes
vars:
NODEJS_VERSION: "8"
ansible_distribution_release: "xenial" #trusty
tasks:
- name: Install the gpg key for nodejs LTS
apt_key:
url: "https://deb.nodesource.com/gpgkey/nodesource.gpg.key"
state: present

- name: Install the nodejs LTS repos
apt_repository:
repo: "deb https://deb.nodesource.com/node_ NODEJS_VERSION .x ansible_distribution_release main"
state: present
update_cache: yes

- name: Install the nodejs
apt:
name: nodejs
state: present



Hope it will help you

ansible_distribution_release



You can use:



ansible-galaxy install nodesource.node


ansible-galaxy install nodesource.node



and then on your playbook, add

roles:
- nodesource.node



roles:
- nodesource.node





For all who puts "-", please describe why. I don't see any problems with this suggestion. It does not work or what?

Firebase Auth - with Email and Password - Check user already registered

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Firebase Auth - with Email and Password - Check user already registered I want to check when a user attempts to signup with createUserWithEmailAndPassword() in Firebase user Authentication method, this user is already registered with my app. createUserWithEmailAndPassword() 8 Answers 8 To detect whether a user with that email address already exists, you can detect when the call to createUserWithEmailAndPassword () fails with auth/email-already-in-use . I see that @Srinivasan just posted an answer for this. createUserWithEmailAndPassword () auth/email-already-in-use Alternatively, you can detect that an email address is already used by calling fetchSignInMethodsForEmail() (previous called fetchProvidersForEmail() ). fetchSignInMethodsForEmail() fetchProvidersForEmail() When the user trying to create an user with same email address, the task response will be "Response: The email address is already in use by another account." mFirebas

But as a result I'm getting an as the only update of my page. here is my script fetch(url) .then((resp) => resp.json()) .then((resp) => resp.results.forEach(item => fetch(item.url) .then((response)=> response.json()) .then((response) => pokeArr.push(response)) .catch(console.log) ) ).catch(console.log) const filler = () => if(!pokeArr) return 0 pokeArr.map((i,j)=> return `<tr>$i.name</tr>` ) const pokeindex = () => document.getElementById('a').appendChild(document.createElement(filler())) pokeindex() When I'm consoling it, I can see in the console all the responses I get, so I'm at least doing the fetching part right. What's parberakan ? What's pokeArr ? – T.J. Crowder Aug 8 at 12

How to determine optimal route across keyboard

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP How to determine optimal route across keyboard I'm trying to automate the typing process in a video game. Players are given an on-screen QWERTY keyboard layout that they can navigate with the control stick (up, down, left, right) in order to select a letter to type. I was wondering if there was a module for Python (or some other resource I could explore) that would help my program find a path across the keyboard as it types each letter in a given message. In other words, if the first letter typed was "A" and the next letter was "B", the module would know that the program should move 1 space down on the keyboard and 4 spaces to the right. Currently, I have the program resetting to the "G" key after each letter is typed (allowing me to use fixed-directions as the program parses each character in the desired message). As you can imagine, this is quite inefficient and defeats the purpose of automating the typing in the fir
