Role which helps to manage YUM repositories.



Examples

--------



This role can be used either from a playbook (section `roles`):



```

---



- hosts: myhost

  roles:

    - role: yumrepo

      yumrepo_repos:

        myrepo1:

          name: My repo 1

          baseurl: http://myserver

          gpgcheck: 0

        myrepo2:

          name: My repo 2

          baseurl: http://myserver

          gpgcheck: 0

```



Or in the meta file (section `dependencies`):



```

  min_ansible_version: 1.7

  platforms:

    - name: Debian

      versions:

        - all

    - name: EL

      versions:

        - all

  categories:

dependencies:

    yumrepo_repos:

      myrepo2:

        name: My repo 3

        baseurl: http://myserver

        gpgcheck: 0

```



The role also supports *managed mode* which removes any repo which is not managed

by this role.



```

---



# Example how to use the role in managed mode

- hosts: myhost

  vars:

    # This enables the managed mode

    yumrepo_manage: true



    # This prevents to delete CoreOS-Base repo file. Basically any repo file

    # which is not managed by the yumrepo role and is not listed in this variable

    # will be deleted.

    yumrepo_ignore_repo_files:

      - CentOS-Base

  roles:

    - role: yumrepo

      yumrepo_repos:

        myrepo4:

          name: My repo 4

          baseurl: http://myserver

    # When we finished with the setting of your YUM repos, we have to call the

    # role with the yumrepo_finish parameter to trigger the deletion of unmanaged

    # repos

    - role: yumrepo

      yumrepo_finish: true

```



If you are going to use the yumrepo across multiple plays in one playbook or in

multiple playbooks, I recomend to create a shared file where you write the

`yumrepo_manage` and the `yumrepo_ignore_repo_files` variables and then use it in

every play the `yumrepo` role is used.



```

---



# This is the content of the shared file (e.g. vars/yumrepo.yaml)



# Enable managed mode

yumrepo_manage: true



# Ignore these repos

yumrepo_ignore_repo_files:

  - CentOS-Base

```



```

---



# This is the playbook with multiple plays using the shared file



- hosts: ~host[1-5]

  vars:

    # This is our shared file

    vars/yumrepo.yaml

  roles:

    - role: yumrepo

      yumrepo_repos:

        myrepo1:

          name: My repo 1

          baseurl: http://myserver

    - approle1



- hosts: ~host[3-5]

  vars:

    # This is our shared file

    vars/yumrepo.yaml

  roles:

    - role: yumrepo

      yumrepo_repos:

        myrepo1:

          name: My repo 2

          baseurl: http://myserver

    - approle2



# We can place the yum_finish into a separate play at the end of the playbook

- hosts: all

  vars:

    # This is our shared file

    vars/yumrepo.yaml

  roles:

    - role: yumrepo

      yumrepo_finish: true

```



The managed mode uses the `/etc/yum.repos.d/.managed` file which is generated by

the role when the `yumrepo_finish` variable is set to `true`. This allows to

create YUM repos across multiple roles and once all is done, it will generate the

`.managed` file and clean the unmanaged repos.



Role variables

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



List of variables used by the role:



```

---



# If set to true, the management mode is enabled. That means that all unmanaged

# repos will be deleted). The best is to set it somewhere in a gobal variable

# file shared in all plays of the playbook.

yumrepo_manage: false



# Repository configuration

yumrepo_repos: []

# Example

#yumrepo_repos:

#  # ID of the repository

#  test:

#    # Additional parameters

#    name: Testing repo

#    baseurl: http://myserver/

#    enabled: 1

#    gpgcheck: 0

#    metadata_expire: 1



# Default list of repos files which won't be deleted during the clearing process

yumrepo_ignore_repos: []

# Example:

#yumrepo_ignore_repos:

#  - CentOS-Base



# To cleanup the temp directory and generate the .managed file

yumrepo_finish: false

```
