I did a thing, and I hope it's useful for people other than myself.
The role is able to install Locust, but can also start and restart Locust master, slave and stand-alone, while preserving the parameters. More than one Locust "instance" can exist on the same host in parallel.
The role can copy a directory with files alongside installing Locust, so it's also a convenient way to put your locustfile, classes and required data onto the host in a single step.
Finally, it can be used as an easy way to build docker images with Locust and the desired locustfiles already baked in.
