I’m trying to write an Ansible role for Wowza, but the interactive nature of the Wowza installer is proving challenging. Is it possible to use debconf (this is for installation on Ubuntu) to pass the answers and license number through to the script?

Perhaps an Expect script?

The installer isn’t specifically debconf enabled.

Expect might work. It is something you would need to try for yourself though.
