Manage apt packages
|
|
=========
|
|
> This repository is only a mirror. Development and testing is done on a private gitlab 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.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
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` on empty (which is considered the same).
|
|
|
|
Dependencies
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
None.
|
|
|
|
Example Playbook
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
Including an example of how to use your role (for instance, with variables passed in as parameters) is always nice for users too:
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# calling the role inside a playbook with either the default or group_vars/host_vars
|
|
- hosts: servers
|
|
roles:
|
|
- ednxzu.manage_apt_packages
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# calling the role inside a playbook and injecting variables (in another role for example)
|
|
- hosts: servers
|
|
tasks:
|
|
- name: "Install nginx package"
|
|
ansible.builtin.include_role:
|
|
name: ednxzu.manage_apt_packages
|
|
vars:
|
|
manage_apt_packages_list:
|
|
- name: consul
|
|
version: 1.13.1-1
|
|
state: present
|
|
```
