ee_linux_automation

Container Repository on Quay

Ansible supports a new feature for bundling collections and their runtime environments, including the Ansible executable and dependencies, together in an executable container. This is called an Ansible Execution Environment. This is a good introduction.

Linux System Roles is publishing an execution environment which contains the following related collections and their dependencies:

  • fedora.linux_system_roles
  • sap.linux
  • microsoft.sql
  • freeipa.ansible_freeipa

ee_linux_automation uses the latest collections published in Galaxy, so if you want to build an updated EE, you may have to first publish the latest content in the collection. The EE version tag is the version of the collection used to build - this is $COLLECTION_VERSION below. Check the latest version e.g. for system roles: https://galaxy.ansible.com/fedora/linux_system_roles. To build:

ansible-builder build -v 3 --container-runtime=podman \
  --file=builder.yml --tag=ee_linux_automation:$COLLECTION_VERSION
podman images | grep ee_linux_automation

To publish to quay, you must have an auth token for your ${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/containers/auth.json. To obtain this token, login to your quay.io account, go to Account Settings, go to CLI Password: and click on Generate Encrypted Password. Then use this with podman login quay.io.

podman tag ee_linux_automation:$COLLECTION_VERSION quay.io/linux-system-roles/ee_linux_automation:$COLLECTION_VERSION 
podman push quay.io/linux-system-roles/ee_linux_automation:$COLLECTION_VERSION

To publish a testing image, use the -testing suffix:

podman tag ee_linux_automation:$COLLECTION_VERSION quay.io/linux-system-roles/ee_linux_automation:$COLLECTION_VERSION-testing
podman push quay.io/linux-system-roles/ee_linux_automation:$COLLECTION_VERSION-testing

Once you use ansible-builder, be sure to push the files in the context/ directory as well. These are the files that can be used by podman build or by the quay.io builder. If you just want to update the context files, you can use ansible-builder create instead of ansible-builder build, then submit a PR for the updated files.
