cost: description: - Relative cost of accessing this repository. Useful for weighing one repo's packages as greater/less than any other. type: str file: description: - File name without the C(.repo) extension to save the repo in. Defaults to the value of O(name). type: str mode: description: - The permissions the resulting filesystem object should have. - For those used to I(/usr/bin/chmod) remember that modes are actually octal numbers. You must give Ansible enough information to parse them correctly. For consistent results, quote octal numbers (for example, V('644') or V('1777')) so Ansible receives a string and can do its own conversion from string into number. Adding a leading zero (for example, V(0755)) works sometimes, but can fail in loops and some other circumstances. - Giving Ansible a number without following either of these rules will end up with a decimal number which will have unexpected results. - As of Ansible 1.8, the mode may be specified as a symbolic mode (for example, V(u+rwx) or V(u=rw,g=r,o=r)). - If O(mode) is not specified and the destination filesystem object B(does not) exist, the default C(umask) on the system will be used when setting the mode for the newly created filesystem object. - If O(mode) is not specified and the destination filesystem object B(does) exist, the mode of the existing filesystem object will be used. - Specifying O(mode) is the best way to ensure filesystem objects are created with the correct permissions. See CVE-2020-1736 for further details. type: raw name: description: - Unique repository ID. This option builds the section name of the repository in the repo file. - This parameter is only required if O(state) is set to V(present) or V(absent). required: true type: str async: description: - If set to V(true) Yum will download packages and metadata from this repo in parallel, if possible. - In ansible-core 2.11, 2.12, and 2.13 the default value is V(true). - This option has been deprecated in RHEL 8. If you're using one of the versions listed above, you can set this option to None to avoid passing an unknown configuration option. type: bool group: description: - Name of the group that should own the filesystem object, as would be fed to I(chown). - When left unspecified, it uses the current group of the current user unless you are root, in which case it can preserve the previous ownership. type: str owner: description: - Name of the user that should own the filesystem object, as would be fed to I(chown). - When left unspecified, it uses the current user unless you are root, in which case it can preserve the previous ownership. - Specifying a numeric username will be assumed to be a user ID and not a username. Avoid numeric usernames to avoid this confusion. type: str proxy: description: - URL to the proxy server that yum should use. Set to V(_none_) to disable the global proxy setting. type: str state: choices: - absent - present default: present description: - State of the repo file. type: str gpgkey: description: - A URL pointing to the ASCII-armored GPG key file for the repository. - It can also be a list of multiple URLs. elements: str type: list serole: description: - The role part of the SELinux filesystem object context. - When set to V(_default), it will use the C(role) portion of the policy if available. type: str setype: description: - The type part of the SELinux filesystem object context. - When set to V(_default), it will use the C(type) portion of the policy if available. type: str seuser: description: - The user part of the SELinux filesystem object context. - By default it uses the V(system) policy, where applicable. - When set to V(_default), it will use the C(user) portion of the policy if available. type: str baseurl: description: - URL to the directory where the yum repository's 'repodata' directory lives. - It can also be a list of multiple URLs. - This, the O(metalink) or O(mirrorlist) parameters are required if O(state) is set to V(present). elements: str type: list enabled: description: - This tells yum whether or not use this repository. - Yum default value is V(true). type: bool exclude: description: - List of packages to exclude from updates or installs. This should be a space separated list. Shell globs using wildcards (for example V(*) and V(?)) are allowed. - The list can also be a regular YAML array. elements: str type: list include: description: - Include external configuration file. Both, local path and URL is supported. Configuration file will be inserted at the position of the C(include=) line. Included files may contain further include lines. Yum will abort with an error if an inclusion loop is detected. type: str protect: description: - Protect packages from updates from other repositories. type: bool retries: description: - Set the number of times any attempt to retrieve a file should retry before returning an error. Setting this to V(0) makes yum try forever. type: str selevel: description: - The level part of the SELinux filesystem object context. - This is the MLS/MCS attribute, sometimes known as the C(range). - When set to V(_default), it will use the C(level) portion of the policy if available. type: str timeout: description: - Number of seconds to wait for a connection before timing out. type: str gpgcakey: description: - A URL pointing to the ASCII-armored CA key file for the repository. type: str gpgcheck: description: - Tells yum whether or not it should perform a GPG signature check on packages. - No default setting. If the value is not set, the system setting from C(/etc/yum.conf) or system default of V(false) will be used. type: bool metalink: description: - Specifies a URL to a metalink file for the repomd.xml, a list of mirrors for the entire repository are generated by converting the mirrors for the repomd.xml file to a O(baseurl). - This, the O(baseurl) or O(mirrorlist) parameters are required if O(state) is set to V(present). type: str password: description: - Password to use with the username for basic authentication. type: str priority: description: - Enforce ordered protection of repositories. The value is an integer from 1 to 99. - This option only works if the YUM Priorities plugin is installed. type: str reposdir: default: /etc/yum.repos.d description: - Directory where the C(.repo) files will be stored. type: path throttle: description: - Enable bandwidth throttling for downloads. - This option can be expressed as a absolute data rate in bytes/sec. An SI prefix (k, M or G) may be appended to the bandwidth value. type: str username: description: - Username to use for basic authentication to a repo or really any url. type: str bandwidth: description: - Maximum available network bandwidth in bytes/second. Used with the O(throttle) option. - If O(throttle) is a percentage and bandwidth is V(0) then bandwidth throttling will be disabled. If O(throttle) is expressed as a data rate (bytes/sec) then this option is ignored. Default is V(0) (no bandwidth throttling). type: str keepalive: description: - This tells yum whether or not HTTP/1.1 keepalive should be used with this repository. This can improve transfer speeds by using one connection when downloading multiple files from a repository. type: bool keepcache: choices: - '0' - '1' description: - Either V(1) or V(0). Determines whether or not yum keeps the cache of headers and packages after successful installation. - This parameter is deprecated and will be removed in version 2.20. type: str sslcacert: aliases: - ca_cert description: - Path to the directory containing the databases of the certificate authorities yum should use to verify SSL certificates. type: str sslverify: aliases: - validate_certs description: - Defines whether yum should verify SSL certificates/hosts at all. type: bool attributes: aliases: - attr description: - The attributes the resulting filesystem object should have. - To get supported flags look at the man page for I(chattr) on the target system. - This string should contain the attributes in the same order as the one displayed by I(lsattr). - The C(=) operator is assumed as default, otherwise C(+) or C(-) operators need to be included in the string. type: str version_added: '2.3' version_added_collection: ansible.builtin ip_resolve: choices: - '4' - '6' - IPv4 - IPv6 - whatever description: - Determines how yum resolves host names. - V(4) or V(IPv4) - resolve to IPv4 addresses only. - V(6) or V(IPv6) - resolve to IPv6 addresses only. type: str mirrorlist: description: - Specifies a URL to a file containing a list of baseurls. - This, the O(baseurl) or O(metalink) parameters are required if O(state) is set to V(present). type: str s3_enabled: description: - Enables support for S3 repositories. - This option only works if the YUM S3 plugin is installed. type: bool description: description: - A human readable string describing the repository. This option corresponds to the "name" property in the repo file. - This parameter is only required if O(state) is set to V(present). type: str includepkgs: description: - List of packages you want to only use from a repository. This should be a space separated list. Shell globs using wildcards (for example V(*) and V(?)) are allowed. Substitution variables (for example V($releasever)) are honored here. - The list can also be a regular YAML array. elements: str type: list enablegroups: description: - Determines whether yum will allow the use of package groups for this repository. - Yum default value is V(true). type: bool http_caching: choices: - all - packages - none description: - Determines how upstream HTTP caches are instructed to handle any HTTP downloads that Yum does. - V(all) means that all HTTP downloads should be cached. - V(packages) means that only RPM package downloads should be cached (but not repository metadata downloads). - V(none) means that no HTTP downloads should be cached. type: str sslclientkey: aliases: - client_key description: - Path to the SSL client key yum should use to connect to repos/remote sites. type: str repo_gpgcheck: description: - This tells yum whether or not it should perform a GPG signature check on the repodata from this repository. type: bool sslclientcert: aliases: - client_cert description: - Path to the SSL client certificate yum should use to connect to repos/remote sites. type: str unsafe_writes: default: false description: - Influence when to use atomic operation to prevent data corruption or inconsistent reads from the target filesystem object. - By default this module uses atomic operations to prevent data corruption or inconsistent reads from the target filesystem objects, but sometimes systems are configured or just broken in ways that prevent this. One example is docker mounted filesystem objects, which cannot be updated atomically from inside the container and can only be written in an unsafe manner. - This option allows Ansible to fall back to unsafe methods of updating filesystem objects when atomic operations fail (however, it doesn't force Ansible to perform unsafe writes). - IMPORTANT! Unsafe writes are subject to race conditions and can lead to data corruption. type: bool version_added: '2.2' version_added_collection: ansible.builtin failovermethod: choices: - roundrobin - priority description: - V(roundrobin) randomly selects a URL out of the list of URLs to start with and proceeds through each of them as it encounters a failure contacting the host. - V(priority) starts from the first O(baseurl) listed and reads through them sequentially. type: str proxy_password: description: - Password for this proxy. type: str proxy_username: description: - Username to use for proxy. type: str ui_repoid_vars: description: - When a repository id is displayed, append these yum variables to the string if they are used in the O(baseurl)/etc. Variables are appended in the order listed (and found). type: str metadata_expire: description: - Time (in seconds) after which the metadata will expire. - Default value is 6 hours. type: str module_hotfixes: description: - Disable module RPM filtering and make all RPMs from the repository available. The default is V(None). type: bool version_added: '2.11' version_added_collection: ansible.builtin mirrorlist_expire: description: - Time (in seconds) after which the mirrorlist locally cached will expire. - Default value is 6 hours. type: str deltarpm_percentage: description: - When the relative size of delta vs pkg is larger than this, delta is not used. Use V(0) to turn off delta rpm processing. Local repositories (with file://O(baseurl)) have delta rpms turned off by default. type: str skip_if_unavailable: description: - If set to V(true) yum will continue running if this repository cannot be contacted for any reason. This should be set carefully as all repos are consulted for any given command. type: bool metadata_expire_filter: choices: - never - read-only:past - read-only:present - read-only:future description: - Filter the O(metadata_expire) time, allowing a trade of speed for accuracy if a command doesn't require it. Each yum command can specify that it requires a certain level of timeliness quality from the remote repos. from "I'm about to install/upgrade, so this better be current" to "Anything that's available is good enough". - V(never) - Nothing is filtered, always obey O(metadata_expire). - V(read-only:past) - Commands that only care about past information are filtered from metadata expiring. Eg. C(yum history) info (if history needs to lookup anything about a previous transaction, then by definition the remote package was available in the past). - V(read-only:present) - Commands that are balanced between past and future. Eg. C(yum list yum). - V(read-only:future) - Commands that are likely to result in running other commands which will require the latest metadata. Eg. C(yum check-update). - Note that this option does not override "yum clean expire-cache". type: str ssl_check_cert_permissions: description: - Whether yum should check the permissions on the paths for the certificates on the repository (both remote and local). - If we can't read any of the files then yum will force O(skip_if_unavailable) to be V(true). This is most useful for non-root processes which use yum on repos that have client cert files which are readable only by root. type: bool deltarpm_metadata_percentage: description: - When the relative size of deltarpm metadata vs pkgs is larger than this, deltarpm metadata is not downloaded from the repo. Note that you can give values over V(100), so V(200) means that the metadata is required to be half the size of the packages. Use V(0) to turn off this check, and always download metadata. type: str
