Red Hat Summit24.4. Ansible roles location in the file system
In RHEL 10, the ansible-freeipa RPM package installs the freeipa.ansible_freeipa collection only.
To use the new collection, add the freeipa.ansible_freeipa prefix to the names of roles and modules. Use the fully-qualified names to follow Ansible recommendations. For example, to refer to the ipahbacrule module, use freeipa.ansible_freeipa.ipahbacrule.
By default, the ansible-freeipa roles are installed to the /usr/share/ansible/collections/ansible_collections/freeipa/ansible_freeipa/roles/ directory. The structure of the ansible-freeipa package is as follows:
The
/usr/share/ansible/collections/ansible_collections/freeipa/ansible_freeipa/roles/directory stores theipaserver,ipareplica,ipaclient,ipasmartcardandipabackuproles on the Ansible controller. Each role directory stores examples, a basic overview, the license and documentation about the role in aREADME.mdMarkdown file.[root@server]# ls -1 /usr/share/ansible/collections/ansible_collections/freeipa/ansible_freeipa/roles ipaclient ipareplica ipaserverThe
/usr/share/ansible/collections/ansible_collections/freeipa/ansible_freeipa/directory stores the documentation about individual roles and the topology inREADME.mdMarkdown files.
