Role Name

role-common-packages

Description

Installs a smattering of packages into target machines.

Requirements

Currently deals exclusively with Linux machines.

Role Variables

Defined

Per defaults/main.yml this role is equipped to deal with Arch Linux and Debian.

packages_linux_common_all_families: Place package names in this list that are identical across all Linux flavors.
```
packages_linux_common_all_families:
  - 'git'
  - 'parted'
  - 'wget'
```
packages_linux_common_*: Add package names to an operating system-specific list if it's unique to that operating system. The asterisk (*) is a placeholder for ansible_facts['os_family'] | lower. If ansible_facts['os_family'] equals Debian then this becomes debian and the list turns into packages_linux_common_debian; same for packages_linux_common_archlinux etc. Note that for Arch Linux these are official packages only, not packages from the Arch User Repository.
```
packages_linux_common_archlinux:
  - 'difftastic'
  - 'eza'
  - 'openbsd-netcat'

packages_linux_common_debian:
  - 'bind9-dnsutils'
  - 'unattended-upgrades'
  - 'xxd'
```
packages_linux_paru_archlinux: Add package names to this list that are exclusive to Arch Linux and must be installed from the Arch User Repository (AUR).
```
`packages_linux_paru_archlinux`:
  - 'downgrade'
  - 'flent'
  - 'paccache-hook'
```

Undefined

From somewhere outside of this role the role expects the following variable to be set. This is used in more than one role, we suggest to define this as a host or group var.

landscape_quico__e_mail_default_recipient_addr_spec: An e-mail address such as alerting@example.com rendered as an RFC 2822 addr-spec string. This is the recipient e-mail address we'll use for system-generated e-mails.

Dependencies

This role depends on the kewlfft.aur Ansible collection to install packages from Arch User Repository on Arch Linux target machines.

Example Playbook

In your playbook.yml call it like so:

- name: 'Awesome playbook'
  hosts: all
  roles:
    - 'role-common-packages'
