manage_apt_packages

This repository is only a mirror. Development and testing is done on a private gitea server.

This role enables you to manage packages on debian-based distributions. It can be used on its own , or be called by other roles the install/remove packages on demand.

Requirements

None.

Role Variables

Available variables are listed below, along with default values. A sample file for the default values is available in default/manage_apt_packages.yml.sample in case you need it for any group_vars or host_vars configuration.

manage_apt_packages_list: # by default, not defined
  - name: nginx
    version: latest # Leaving empty or setting '' will be considered as latest
    state: absent
  - name: ...

This variable is a list of packages, with their name, desired version and state. Note that the role allows version rollbacks, so unless you absolutely need a specific version, it is usualy advised to keep the version on latest or empty (which is considered the same).

Dependencies

None.
