Setting up the Environment

Given your collections is installed on the control node at /collections/ansible_collections/joelwking you will need to configure the environment to locate the collection and optionally, the associated role.

export ANSIBLE_COLLECTIONS_PATHS=/collections/

Or update your ansible.cfg file to include these values:

collections_paths = /collections/
roles_path    = /collections/ansible_collections/joelwking/mongodb/roles

Note: you do not need to use the provided role, the module can be called directly from your playbook. The role is is included to provide usage examples and demonstrate that Ansible Collections can also package a role.
