tomcat_java_home The path to your java installation. This variable is required in the systemd service file.

A running Java installation like open-jdk-8.

ansible-galaxy install FlxPeter.tomcat8

Including an example of how to use your role (for instance, with variables passed in as parameters) is always nice for users too:

  roles:
     - { role: FlxPeters.tomcat8, tomcat_java_home: /path/to/java/jre }
