APT

Configure APT for use with Ansible. It:

• Updates the APT cache if not done for a given period
• Installs python-apt
• Installs apt-transport-https

While python-apt gets installed automatically by Ansible in more recent versions, apt-transport-https does not.

Requirements

• Debian or Ubuntu

Role variables

• apt_cache_valid_time

Time in seconds between apt cache updates. Defaults to 3600

Example Playbook

---
- hosts: all
  vars:
    apt_cache_age:  7200
  roles:
    - role: willshersystems.apt
      when: ansible_pkg_mgr == 'apt'
