Parameters

Parameter

Comments

add_export_distributor

boolean

Whether or not to add the export distributor to new rpm repositories.

Choices:

  • no ← (default)

  • yes

client_cert

path

PEM formatted certificate chain file to be used for SSL client authentication.

This file can also include the key as well, and if the key is included, client_key is not required.

client_key

path

PEM formatted file that contains your private key to be used for SSL client authentication.

If client_cert contains both the certificate and key, this option is not required.

feed

string

Upstream feed URL to receive updates from.

feed_ca_cert

aliases: importer_ssl_ca_cert

string

CA certificate string used to validate the feed source SSL certificate. This can be the file content or the path to the file.

feed_client_cert

aliases: importer_ssl_client_cert

string

Certificate used as the client certificate when synchronizing the repository. This is used to communicate authentication information to the feed source. The value to this option must be the full path to the certificate. The specified file may be the certificate itself or a single file containing both the certificate and private key. This can be the file content or the path to the file.

feed_client_key

aliases: importer_ssl_client_key

string

Private key to the certificate specified in importer_ssl_client_cert, assuming it is not included in the certificate file itself. This can be the file content or the path to the file.

force

aliases: thirsty

boolean

If yes do not get a cached copy.

Alias thirsty has been deprecated and will be removed in 2.13.

Choices:

  • no ← (default)

  • yes

force_basic_auth

boolean

httplib2, the library used by the ansible.builtin.uri module only sends authentication information when a webservice responds to an initial request with a 401 status. Since some basic auth services do not properly send a 401, logins will fail. This option forces the sending of the Basic authentication header upon initial request.

Choices:

  • no ← (default)

  • yes

generate_sqlite

boolean

Boolean flag to indicate whether sqlite files should be generated during a repository publish.

Choices:

  • no ← (default)

  • yes
