overriding lightdm.service from ansible

Question

I am having an issue with my GUI. I have setup a provisioned vpn via ansible that needs to be up before the graphical interface is up (lightdm on ubuntu lts 16.04).

So I read you shouldn't edit the lightdm service directly but do override on it. How do I override lightdm service on /etc/system/systemd ?

I know there are commands to override them, but I need to know how to make this with files so that I make them tasks from ansible.

Do you need the instructions in Ansible to create the drop-in file, or do you need help creating the drop-in file, or both? — Jeff Schaller, Sep 13 '19 at 18:08

I followed the instructions from coreos systemd overriding (drop-ins) services and I could make the appropriate ansible directives.

Thank you all.
