Role to configure the APT package manager. Currently limited to controlling the

properties that affect the cleaning of the DEB files (typically by the APT cron

job). The DEB files are removed to save on disk space but if you're using

Vagrant (with the vagrant-cachier plugin) you may want to keep the DEB files to

speed up VM rebuilds.

Requirements

------------

* Ansible >= 2.9

* Linux Distribution

    * Debian Family

        * Ubuntu

            * Bionic (18.04)

            * Focal (20.04)

        * Note: other versions are likely to work but have not been tested.

Role Variables

--------------

The following variables will change the behavior of this role (default values

are shown below):

```yaml

# The filename for the apt config

apt_config_filename: '80-vagrant'

# Whether the cache of DEB files should be preserved or cleaned

apt_preserve_cache: no

# Max age (in days) of DEB files to keep when cleaning cache

apt_archives_maxage: null

# Min age (in days) of DEB files to keep when cleaning cache

apt_archives_minage: null

# Max size (in MB) of DEB files to keep when cleaning cache

apt_archives_maxsize: null

```

Example Playbook

----------------

```yaml

- hosts: servers

  roles:

    - role: gantsign.apt

      apt_preserve_cache: yes

```

Development & Testing

---------------------

This project uses [Molecule](http://molecule.readthedocs.io/) to aid in the

development and testing; the role is unit tested using

[Testinfra](http://testinfra.readthedocs.io/) and

[pytest](http://docs.pytest.org/).

To develop or test you'll need to have installed the following:

* Linux (e.g. [Ubuntu](http://www.ubuntu.com/))

* [Docker](https://www.docker.com/)

* [Python](https://www.python.org/) (including python-pip)

* [Ansible](https://www.ansible.com/)

* [Molecule](http://molecule.readthedocs.io/)

Because the above can be tricky to install, this project includes

[Molecule Wrapper](https://github.com/gantsign/molecule-wrapper). Molecule

Wrapper is a shell script that installs Molecule and it's dependencies (apart

from Linux) and then executes Molecule with the command you pass it.

To test this role using Molecule Wrapper run the following command from the

project root:

```bash

./moleculew test

```

Note: some of the dependencies need `sudo` permission to install.
