This role allows downloading ISO and setup bundles for most common RH products. It uses the API token to interact with Red Hat API.
The package is downloaded by default in the playbook execution folder. It can be customized via rh_product_path and rh_product_filename variables.
The role doesn’t have specific requirements
The only required values are:
| Name | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| rh_api_offline_token | The Red Hat offline token that can be retrieved here | Mandatory |
| rh_product_name | The product you need to download (it can be ‘rhel8’, ‘rhel9’, ‘aap2’, ‘aap2_containerized’) | No default, mandatory if rh_product_checksum is not defined |
| rh_product_path | The location to save the file to | Defaults to /root |
| rh_product_filename | The name of the package if different from the original one | Defaults to the iso/tar name from RH website |
| rh_product_checksum | The checksum of the file to download | No default, mandatory if rh_product_name is not defined |
The role will provide a fact rh_package_path that can be used for subsequent elaboration (extraction/copy/etc)
No dependencies
