setup-reposerver

A brief description of the role goes here.

Requirements

The server should have been registered against Red Hat Network and must have enough diskspace at /var/www/html. You can use

• mk-ansible-roles.subscribe-rhn
• mk-ansible-roles.disk-init

to configure your systems accordingly

The following python modules need to be installed:

• python-firewall

Role Variables

If you want to serve the packages on special IP address you can specify reposync_server. It defaults to ansible_hostname if not set otherwise

The reposync parameters default to -n -d -l --downloadcomps --download-metadata, which download the group definitions and only keep the latest version of a package. Use reposync_param if you want to change these parameters.

As a default the cron script is copied to /usr/sbin. If reposync_cron is set to monthly or daily an appropriate link is set

reposync_server: "{{ ansible_hostname }}"
reposync_param: -n -d -l --downloadcomps --download-metadata
reposync_cron: [false|daily|monthly]

Example Playbook

Including an example of how to use your role (for instance, with variables passed in as parameters) is always nice for users too:

- hosts: reposerver
  roles:
     - { role: mk-ansible-roles.setup-reposerver }
