Package Manager Mirror

Configure a mirror of standard repositories for APT, YUM, and DNF. Useful if you have a caching proxy and want to ensure cache hits.

Role Variables

pkgmgr_proxy

If defined, the role will configure the package manager to use this URL as a proxy.

pkgmgr_mirror

A dictionary of repository settings with distribution names as keys. Values are different for different distributions.

Debian-like

Values are dictionaries in which either default key or the specific release name key must be present. The release name is taken from Ansible fact ansible_lsb.codename, and defaults to ansible_distribution_release if it's not set (varies by release).

Values are dictionaries where url member is the base URL (one level above subdirectories like dists and pool, see example below), and components member is a list of distribution components, such as main, contrib, or non-free.

RH-like

Values are base URLs (see example below). They should be one level above the following subdirectories:

• major release numbers in CentOS and Scientific
• releases in Fedora
