Default variable details
Some of debops.apt_mark
default variables have more extensive configuration
than simple strings or lists, here you can find documentation and examples for
them.
apt_mark__packages
The apt_mark__*_packages
list variables specify the desired state of the
APT packages to set on the hosts. Only already installed APT packages are
managed. Each list entry is a YAML dictionary with specific parameters:
name
Required. Name of an APT package to configure. At the moment the role does not support usage of glob patterns (eg.
package-*
).packages
Optional. A list of APT packages to manage. If specified, the
name
parameter is ignored. Glob patterns are not supported.state
Optional. This parameter defines what state to set for the specified package(s) The available states:
auto
manual
hold
auto-hold
manual-hold
unhold
auto-unhold
manual-unhold
If not specified,
manual
state is set by default, hold state is not changed. You can find out more about these states in the apt-mark(8) manual page.
Examples
Mark a package as installed manually, so it won't be autoremoved:
apt_mark__packages:
- name: 'zsh'
- name: 'bash'
state: 'manual'
Mark multiple installed packages as installed manually and held in their current state. Only the packages already installed will be affected:
apt_mark__packages:
- name: 'nginx-packages'
state: 'manual-hold'
packages:
- 'nginx'
- 'nginx-common'
- 'nginx-extras'
