ANXS - apt

Ansible role which executes apt-get update to ensure the local APT package cache is up to date. At the same time, it cleans it from packages and .deb files which are no longer needed. Also provides a variety of methods for processing system updates.

Requirements & Dependencies

• Tested on Ansible 2.12 or higher.

Variables

This is a partial listing of configurable variables.

• apt_install_recommends and apt_install_suggests, when set to true, will configure the system to automatically install recommended and/or suggested packagtes. Note this will have an impact of disk utilization.
• apt_autoremove_recommends and apt_autoremove_suggests, when set to true (the default), will have the inverse effect - removing these packages.
• apt_source will cause source repos to be included.
• apt_upgrade, when set to true, will perform some automatic upgrades during run time
  • apt_upgrade_style can be set to full or dist
  • apt_upgrade_frequency can be set to once to only do the upgrade once, boot for it to be reset after a reboot, and always for the system to always upgrade.

Testing

This project uses molecule to test a few scenarios. You can kick off the tests (and linting) with make test.
