yum-cron

This tool installs and sets up yum-cron or dnf-automatic to automatically apply updates on RHEL.

Requirements

None

Role Variables

The setup options differ for RHEL 6 and RHEL 7. For RHEL 7 and 8, the options are mostly similar.

In RHEL 7, there are configuration files for daily and hourly updates. You can use the same settings for both or set different values for daily and hourly in the variable. Check defaults/main.yml for examples.

Keep in mind that not all options can be set separately. Some options need to have different values for daily and hourly, marked with a *.

Also, when using values like true or false, make sure to use quotes so they are treated as strings. The config files expect true and false, not True and False.
