community.general.cobbler_sync – Sync Cobbler

Note

This plugin is part of the community.general collection (version 3.8.3).

You might already have this collection installed if you are using the ansible package. It is not included in ansible-core. To check whether it is installed, run ansible-galaxy collection list.

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	Comments
host string	The name or IP address of the Cobbler system. Default: “127.0.0.1”
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	If no, an HTTP connection will be used instead of the default HTTPS connection. Choices: no yes ← (default)
username string	The username to log in to Cobbler. Default: “cobbler”
validate_certs boolean	If no, SSL certificates will not be validated. This should only set to no when used on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates. Choices: no yes ← (default)

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.
