The machine needs to be prepared. In CI this is done using molecule/default/prepare.yml:

---
- name: Prepare
  hosts: all
  become: true
  gather_facts: false

  roles:
    - role: buluma.bootstrap
    - role: buluma.core_dependencies
    - role: buluma.epel
    - role: buluma.buildtools
    - role: buluma.python_pip
    - role: buluma.openssl
      openssl_key_directory: /tmp
      openssl_items:
        - name: haproxy
          common_name: ""
    # This role is applied to serve as a mock "backend" server. See `molecule/default/verify.yml`.
    - role: buluma.httpd
      httpd_port: 8080

  vars:
    _httpd_data_directory:
      default: /var/www/html
      Alpine: /var/www/localhost/htdocs
      Suse: /srv/www/htdocs

    httpd_data_directory: ""
  post_tasks:
    - name: Place health check
      ansible.builtin.copy:
        content: 'ok'
        dest: "/health.html"

    - name: Place sample page
      ansible.builtin.copy:
        content: 'Hello world!'
        dest: "/index.html"
