Description

An Ansible Role to sync a Collection Repository.

Variables

Variable Name	Default Value	Required	Description	Example
aap_hostname	””	yes	URL to the Ansible Automation Platform Server.	127.0.0.1
aap_username	””	no	Admin User on the Ansible Automation Platform Server. Either username / password or oauthtoken need to be specified.
aap_password	””	no	Platform Admin User’s password on the Server. This should be stored in an Ansible Vault at vars/platform-secrets.yml or elsewhere and called from a parent playbook.
aap_validate_certs	true	no	Whether or not to validate the Ansible Automation Platform Server’s SSL certificate.
aap_request_timeout	10	no	Specify the timeout Ansible should use in requests to the Galaxy or Automation Hub host.
ah_path_prefix	””	no	API path used to access the api. Either galaxy, automation-hub, or custom
aap_configuration_async_dir	null	no	Sets the directory to write the results file for async tasks. The default value is set to null which uses the Ansible Default of /root/.ansible_async/.
hub_collection_repositories	see below	yes	Data structure describing your collection remote repository, described below.

The aap_configuration_async_dir variable sets the directory to write the results file for async tasks. The default value is set to null which uses the Ansible Default of /root/.ansible_async/.

Secure Logging Variables

The following Variables compliment each other. If Both variables are not set, secure logging defaults to false. The role defaults to false as normally the add repository task does not include sensitive information. hub_configuration_repository_secure_logging defaults to the value of aap_configuration_secure_logging if it is not explicitly called. This allows for secure logging to be toggled for the entire suite of automation hub configuration roles with a single variable, or for the user to selectively use it.

Variable Name	Default Value	Required	Description
hub_configuration_collection_repository_sync_secure_logging	false	no	Whether or not to include the sensitive Namespace role tasks in the log. Set this value to true if you will be providing your sensitive values from elsewhere.
aap_configuration_secure_logging	false	no	This variable enables secure logging as well, but is shared across multiple roles, see above.

Asynchronous Retry Variables

The following Variables set asynchronous retries for the role. If neither of the retries or delay or retries are set, they will default to their respective defaults. This allows for all items to be created, then checked that the task finishes successfully. This also speeds up the overall role.

Variable Name	Default Value	Required	Description
aap_configuration_async_timeout	1000	no	This variable sets the async timeout for the role globally.
hub_configuration_collection_repository_sync_async_timeout	aap_configuration_async_timeout	no	This variable sets the async timeout for the role.
aap_configuration_async_retries	50	no	This variable sets the number of retries to attempt for the role globally.
hub_configuration_collection_repository_sync_async_retries	aap_configuration_async_retries	no	This variable sets the number of retries to attempt for the role.
aap_configuration_loop_delay	1000	no	This variable sets the loop_delay for the role globally.
hub_configuration_collection_repository_sync_loop_delay	aap_configuration_loop_delay	no	This variable sets the loop_delay for the role.
aap_configuration_async_delay	1	no	This sets the delay between retries for the role globally.
hub_configuration_collection_repository_sync_async_delay	aap_configuration_async_delay	no	This sets the delay between retries for the role.

interval	1.0	no	float	The interval to request an update from Automation Hub.
timeout	””	no	int	If waiting for the repository to update this will abort after this amount of seconds.
state	present	no	str	Desired state of the collection repository. Either present or absent.
