kickstart repo

Role Name

This role is to automate the configuration of a kickstart server for RPM-based (rhel,centos) operating systems.

Requirements

The user of this role will need access to the installation iso file and will need to copy it to the target node.

Role Variables

The settable variables for this role are in defaults/main.yml

The absolute path to the installation .iso file. ex: /root/rhel-7-server-x86_64.iso
iso_path: 

Define a short name for the kickstart media. ex: rhel7.4
kick_media:

Remove the iso from the system? Override to "true" to keep.
keep_iso: false

Keep local yum repo or delete it? Override to "true" to keep.
keep_repo: false

Keep iso mounted? Override to "true" to keep.
keep_mnt: false

If you would like to configure DHCP services, set this to "true"; Please note that the subnet used during DHCP scope creation is the default IPv4 address (eth0) of the target system. For example, if your eth0 network information is 192.168.124.200/24, DHCP will be configured for 192.168.124.0/255.255.255.0. To override you will need to update kick_srvr, dhcp_net and dhcp_mask variables.

dhcp: false

If DHCP is enabled, define the starting IP address of the scope.
dhcp_start:

If DHCP is enabled, define the last IP address of the scope.
dhcp_end:
