Go

Deprecated, use yogo1212/ansible-go.

This Ansible role installs Go. By default, it installs the latest stable version for x86 64-bit Linux systems. You can change the version or platform by adjusting the role variables.

Role Variables

These variables are optional. Change them only if you need a different version of Go (like for FreeBSD or an earlier release).

• go_tarball: This is the tarball you want to install. You can find options on the Go Downloads page. The default is the latest stable x86 64-bit Linux tarball.

• go_tarball_checksum: This specifies the algorithm and checksum for the tarball you want. Examples include sha1:c7d78ba4df574b5f9a9bb5d17505f40c4d89b81c or sha256:a96cce8ce43a9bf9b2a4c7d470bc7ee0cb00410da815980681c8353218dcf146. The default is the SHA256 checksum for the latest stable version. You can find checksums on the Go Download Page.

• go_version_target: This is the expected output of the go version command (like "go version go1.2.1 linux/amd64"). It's used to decide if the Go tarball should be extracted to upgrade or downgrade an existing version. If it matches the target, the extraction is skipped.

• go_download_location: This is the complete download URL. It simply combines the go_tarball variable with the Go Download URL. You typically don’t need to change this.

• set_go_path: This indicates whether to set the GOPATH for all users. The default setting is true.
