New in version 1.9.
The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.
Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments |
---|---|---|
allow_downgrade bool (added in 2.7) |
| Specify if the named package and version is allowed to downgrade a maybe already installed higher version of that package. Note that setting allow_downgrade=True can make this module behave in a non-idempotent way. The task could end up with a set of packages that does not match the complete list of specified packages to install (because dependencies between the downgraded package and others can cause changes to the packages which were in the earlier transaction). |
autoremove bool (added in 2.4) |
| If yes , removes all "leaf" packages from the system that were originally installed as dependencies of user-installed packages but which are no longer required by any such package. Should be used alone or when state is absent
|
bugfix bool (added in 2.7) |
| If set to yes , and state=latest then only installs updates that have been marked bugfix related. |
conf_file | The remote dnf configuration file to use for the transaction. | |
disable_excludes (added in 2.7) | Disable the excludes defined in DNF config files. If set to all , disables all excludes.If set to main , disable excludes defined in [main] in yum.conf.If set to repoid , disable excludes defined for given repo id. | |
disable_gpg_check bool |
| Whether to disable the GPG checking of signatures of packages being installed. Has an effect only if state is present or latest. |
disable_plugin (added in 2.7) |
Plugin name to disable for the install/update operation. The disabled plugins will not persist beyond the transaction. | |
disablerepo |
Repoid of repositories to disable for the install/update operation. These repos will not persist beyond the transaction. When specifying multiple repos, separate them with a ",". | |
download_only bool (added in 2.7) |
| Only download the packages, do not install them. |
enable_plugin (added in 2.7) |
Plugin name to enable for the install/update operation. The enabled plugin will not persist beyond the transaction. | |
enablerepo |
Repoid of repositories to enable for the install/update operation. These repos will not persist beyond the transaction. When specifying multiple repos, separate them with a ",". | |
exclude (added in 2.7) | Package name(s) to exclude when state=present, or latest. This can be a list or a comma separated string. | |
install_repoquery bool (added in 2.7) |
| This is effectively a no-op in DNF as it is not needed with DNF, but is an accepted parameter for feature parity/compatibility with the yum module. |
installroot (added in 2.3) | Default: / | Specifies an alternative installroot, relative to which all packages will be installed. |
list | Various (non-idempotent) commands for usage with /usr/bin/ansible and not playbooks. See examples. | |
name required | A package name or package specifier with version, like name-1.0 . When using state=latest, this can be '*' which means run: dnf -y update. You can also pass a url or a local path to a rpm file. To operate on several packages this can accept a comma separated string of packages or a list of packages.aliases: pkg | |
releasever (added in 2.6) | Default: None | Specifies an alternative release from which all packages will be installed. |
security bool (added in 2.7) |
| If set to yes , and state=latest then only installs updates that have been marked security related. |
skip_broken bool (added in 2.7) |
| Skip packages with broken dependencies(devsolve) and are causing problems. |
state |
| Whether to install ( present , latest ), or remove (absent ) a package. |
update_cache bool (added in 2.7) |
| Force yum to check if cache is out of date and redownload if needed. Has an effect only if state is present or latest. aliases: expire-cache |
update_only bool (added in 2.7) |
| When using latest, only update installed packages. Do not install packages. Has an effect only if state is latest
|
validate_certs bool (added in 2.7) |
| This only applies if using a https url as the source of the rpm. e.g. for localinstall. If set to no , the SSL certificates will not be validated.This should only set to no used on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates as it avoids verifying the source site. |
Note
loop:
each package will be processed individually, it is much more efficient to pass the list directly to the name
