Configure System Repositories

This role sets up and installs system repositories, mainly for systems using yum or dnf.

Requirements

• Ansible version 2.4 or higher
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 or newer, or a similar system
• Most versions of Fedora

Role Variables

The following variables can be used:

General

• system_repositories_configs: A list of repository configurations based on the Ansible yum_repository module. Most important options are supported. If something is missing, you can add it through a pull request.
• system_repositories_repo_files: A list of URLs for repo files that should be downloaded to the target directory. Be cautious when using this to avoid issues with remote downloads.
• system_repositories_rpm_keys: A list of RPM keys that need to be installed on the system.
• system_repositories_validate_certs: This is true by default, but can be set to false if repo files or RPM keys are downloaded via HTTPS and the certificates are not valid on the target system.

Dependencies
