packagecloud.io Ansible Role

Overview

This role allows you to easily add packagecloud.io repositories to your RedHat and Debian systems using Ansible.

Note: This is a basic role that covers common scenarios and may not be very robust. We plan to develop a full Ansible module in the future.

Role Configuration

• repository - The user and repository address on packagecloud.io, for example, computology/packagecloud-test-packages.

• master_token (optional) - A valid master token for this repository, needed only for private repositories. It uses your ansible_nodename to generate a read token using our API for repository setup.

• os - The operating system to use in the repository setup, according to packagecloud terms. For example, el for Enterprise Linux or ubuntu.

• version - The version of the operating system for repository setup, using packagecloud terms. For example, 5 or trusty.

• legacy_gpg - (Debian only) This is set to undefined by default. Change this value to use the old packagecloud.io GPG key. NOTE: Only use this for repositories that haven't switched to their own unique GPG key. Check our blog post for more information.

Example

- { role: packagecloud, repository: capotej/apt-cacher-ng, os: ubuntu, version: trusty }
- { role: packagecloud, repository: capotej/apt-cacher-ng, os: ubuntu, version: trusty, legacy_gpg: true }
- { role: packagecloud, repository: corp/private-repo, os: centos, version: 6, master_token: "{{ encrypted_master_token_from_vault }}" }
