Requirements and Dependencies

Ansible Core 2.13.0 or higher is required for the roles in the collection.

The roles in this collection must be imported by the kangaroot.foreman collection. It is possible to directly use the roles in this collection but not recommended.

The kangaroot.foreman collection requires the theforeman.foreman and theforeman.operations collections. To install the required collections, execute:

ansible-galaxy collection install -r requirements.yml

in the collection directory.

Collection Variables

The group_vars directory contains example vars files for the important variables used in the collection roles.

Usage

The variable foreman_content_roles from the foreman role in the kangaroot.foreman collection contains a list content roles to import.

Add this collection content role to the foreman_content_roles list of content roles to import in your playbook project variables.

For example, add the foreman_content_roles variable in your group_vars/foreman.yml file of your playbook project:

# Foreman content roles to include
foreman_content_roles:
  # Package only content
  - ...

  # OS content
  - kangaroot.foreman_content_ubuntu.foreman_content_ubuntu
  - ...

  # Builtin content
  - kangaroot.foreman_content_builtin.foreman_content_builtin

Also ensure that the Ubuntu repositories are enabled by setting the appropriate enable variables:

foreman_enable_ubuntu: true
foreman_enable_ubuntu2004: false

In your playbook, add a task to execute the kangaroot.foreman.foreman role:

- name: Run kangaroot.foreman roles
  hosts: foreman
  roles:
    - kangaroot.foreman.foreman
