Configuring APT repositories#

You can configure APT package repositories on Debian and Ubuntu systems.

You can define named repositories in apt_repositories and decide which ones to use by listing the names in apt_repository_list :

cluster_vars:
  apt_repositories:
    Example:
      key_id: XXXXXXXX
      key_url: https://repo.example.com/path/to/XXXXXXXX.asc
      repo: >-
        deb https://repo.example.com/repos/Example/ xxx-Example main

  apt_repository_list:
    - PGDG
    - Example

This configuration installs:

  • The GPG key (with id key_id , obtained from key_url )

  • A new entry under /etc/apt/sources.list.d with the given repo line (or lines) for the PGDG repository (which is already defined by default)

  • The new Example repository

When you configure additional repositories, remember to include PGDG in apt_repository_list if you still want to install PGDG packages.

You can set apt_repository_list: [] to not install any repositories.
