Ansible Role: Patching

Version: 1.2.0

This project is developed in a private repository and then released to GitLab and GitHub when there's a new version. If you encounter any problems, please reach out to sparknsh.

Role Variables

Below are the available variables with their default values (refer to defaults/main.yml):

patching__audit_packages: false

This variable allows you to see what packages were installed and updated on each server.

patching__upgrade_all: false
patching__repo_clean: true

By default, updates will always run. If you want to perform an upgrade instead, change the variable to disable the update and run the upgrade instead. patching__repo_clean will remove old files from your server.

patching__update_security: false

RHEL distributions allow you to only apply security updates. Set this to True to only patch security updates.

Coming Soon

• Reboot support in Version 1.3.0
• Fedora Support in Version 1.5.0
