Synopsys

This role lets you install packages from third party repositories.

Parameters

Name	Required	Example	Description
name	yes	Defender ATP	Package nick name, only for informative purposes during the run.
package	yes	mdatp	Package name to be installed from the repo.
version	no	101.73.77	Package version to install. If specified, the package will also be locked to that version with apt-mark hold or dnf versionlock.
repo_file	no	microsoft-prod	Repo file in your templates directory without the .repo.j2 or list.j2 suffix. If not specified, you must specify repo_url.
repo_url	no	https://packages.microsoft.com/config/rhel/8/prod.repo	Repo file URL. If not specified, you must specify repo_file.
gpg_url	no	https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc	URL for the GPG file used to sign the repo.
gpg_file	no	nordlayer-keyring.asc	GPG file in your files directory. Not recommended, since GPG keys regularly change in most repos.
gpg_server	no	keyserver.ubuntu.com	GPG server address to import the key from. Only supported on Debian derivatives.
gpg_id	no	ACCAF35C	ID of the key hosted on the GPG server. Only supported on Debian derivatives.
gpg_allow_sha1	no	true	By default, EL 9 and up won't allow importing RPM keys with SHA1 algo. Setting this to true temporarily changes the policy to allow SHA1 keys. Only supported on Red Hat derivatives.
ldconfig	no	true	If true, ldconfig is ran after the installation finishes. Useful when installing libraries that extend LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
repo_overwrite	no	true	If true, the repo file is deployed once more after package installation. Useful when the package alters the repo file during installation and thus would break idempotency, e.g. Google Chrome.
conflict	no	clamav	Avoid installing package on systems where this package is installed.
install_recommends	no	false	By default, recommended dependencies are installed. This instructs apt to don't do that. Only supported on Debian derivatives.

You must specify either:

• gpg_url
• gpg_file
• gpg_server and gpg_id
