Adding a RPM repository

To add a Cloudsmith repository for RPM packages using Ansible, you would use the Ansible yum_repository module. The yum_repository module can add or remove YUM repositories in RPM-based Linux distributions.

Example yum_repository task:

Public Repository

yaml

- name: Add Cloudsmith Repository
  yum_repository:
    name: cloudsmith
    description: Cloudsmith
    file: cloudsmith
    baseurl: https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/OWNER/REPOSITORY/rpm/DISTRO/VERSION/$basearch
    repo_gpgcheck: yes
    gpgkey: https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/OWNER/REPOSITORY/cfg/gpg/gpg.FINGERPRINT.key
    enabled: yes
  become: true

Private Repository

yaml

- name: Add Cloudsmith Repository
yum_repository:
  name: cloudsmith
  description: Cloudsmith
  file: cloudsmith
  baseurl: https://dl.cloudsmith.io/TOKEN/OWNER/REPOSITORY/rpm/DISTRO/VERSION/$basearch
  repo_gpgcheck: yes
  gpgkey: https://dl.cloudsmith.io/TOKEN/OWNER/REPOSITORY/cfg/gpg/gpg.FINGERPRINT.key
  enabled: yes 
become: true

Install a package

To install a RPM package via Ansible, you use the Ansible yum module:

yaml

- name: Install a package
  yum:
    name: PACKAGE_NAME
    state: present
    update_cache: yes
  become: true

Adding a Debian repository

To add a Cloudsmith repository for Debian packages using Ansible, you would use the Ansible apt_key module and the apt_repository module.

Example apt_key and apt_repository tasks:

Public Repository

yaml

- name: Import Cloudsmith Repository GPG key
  apt_key:
    url: https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/OWNER/REPOSITORY/cfg/gpg/gpg.FINGERPRINT.key
    state: present
  become: true

- name: Add Cloudsmith Repository
  apt_repository:
    repo: deb https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/OWNER/REPOSITORY/deb/DISTRO VERSION main
    state: present
  become: true

Private Repository

yaml

- name: Import Cloudsmith Repository GPG key
apt_key:
  url: https://dl.cloudsmith.io/TOKEN/OWNER/REPOSITORY/cfg/gpg/gpg.FINGERPRINT.key
  state: present
become: true

- name: Add Cloudsmith Repository
apt_repository:
  repo: deb https://dl.cloudsmith.io/TOKEN/OWNER/REPOSITORY/deb/DISTRO VERSION main
  state: present
become: true

Install a package

To install a Debian package via Ansible, you use the Ansible apt module:

yaml
