Note

This plugin is part of the community.general collection (version 2.5.1).

To install it use: ansible-galaxy collection install community.general.

To use it in a playbook, specify: community.general.cobbler_sync.

Synopsis

• Sync Cobbler to commit changes.

Parameters

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
host string	Default: "127.0.0.1"	The name or IP address of the Cobbler system.
password string		The password to log in to Cobbler.
port integer		Port number to be used for REST connection. The default value depends on parameter use_ssl.
use_ssl boolean	Choices: no yes ←	If no, an HTTP connection will be used instead of the default HTTPS connection.
username string	Default: "cobbler"	The username to log in to Cobbler.
validate_certs boolean	Choices: no yes ←	If no, SSL certificates will not be validated. This should only set to no when used on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates.

Notes

Note

• Concurrently syncing Cobbler is bound to fail with weird errors.

• On python 2.7.8 and older (i.e. on RHEL7) you may need to tweak the python behaviour to disable certificate validation. More information at Certificate verification in Python standard library HTTP clients.
