[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/cjsteel/ansible-role-virtualbox.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/cjsteel/ansible-role-virtualbox)

An ansible role for installing, reinstalling, removing and purging virtualbox

sudo apt remove virtualbox
## ubuntu xenial
# deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian xenial contrib
## debian 8 jesse
#deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian jessie contrib

• increased Linux Integration, DKMS is no longer needed
• improved multimedia support
• a new bug reporting helper tool
• a new NVMHCI storage controller for emulating NVMe (NVM Express) devices, aka, flash storage
• better support for USB devices and multi-channel audio
• significantly improved performance when running VMs with multi-CPU
• improved systemd integration

Any pre-requisites that may not be covered by Ansible itself or the role should be mentioned here. For instance, if the role uses the EC2 module, it may be a good idea to mention in this section that the boto package is required.

A description of the settable variables for this role should go here, including any variables that are in defaults/main.yml, vars/main.yml, and any variables that can/should be set via parameters to the role. Any variables that are read from other roles and/or the global scope (ie. hostvars, group vars, etc.) should be mentioned here as well.

A list of other roles hosted on Galaxy should go here, plus any details in regards to parameters that may need to be set for other roles, or variables that are used from other roles.

You probably want this in almost all cases. The relies on defaults/main.yml value for the var ensure_virtualbox.
