When providing . as the folder path of the lintables to ansible-lint it does not lint the folder molecule/default containing converge.yml, prepare.yml, verify.yml, hence folder molecule/ need to be added to the ansible-lint call in the molecule lint commands.

Linting violations need to be fixed alongside this change.

Currently, only a couple of variables are prefixed with the role name. This way they conflict with variables configured in other roles, e.g. redis_password. It should better be called gitlab_redis_password.

See https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/porting_guides/porting_guide_2.5.html#ansible-fact-namespacing

Centos 8 is EOL and GitLab chose AlmaLinux 8 as the replacement Operating System.

This is why we should remove support for Centos 8 and add support for AlmaLinux 8 in this role. Compare with https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/package_information/supported_os.html#supported-operating-systems.

The conditional check 'gitlab_ctl.stat.exists' failed. The error was: error while evaluating conditional (gitlab_ctl.stat.exists): 'gitlab_ctl' is undefined. 'gitlab_ctl' is undefined
  
    The error appears to be in '/home/bestflei/dev/hifis/technology/gitlab/roles/external/hifis.gitlab/tasks/reconfigure.yml': line 8, column 3, but may
    be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.
  
    The offending line appears to be:
  
  
    - name: Reconfigure Primary GitLab

Related to #131

In order to motivate people to contribute a CONTRIBUTING guide for Ansible roles needs to be put into this repository.

Currently, the verification step is rather testing a bit of basic stuff. This should be extended.

• Verify if GitLab is properly running via gitlab status
• Retrieve information from the health endpoints
• Check the web interface.

To avoid the error of a supposedly non-existent package due to an outdated package cache.
