Managing Ansible content

You can import Ansible collections from several sources to orcharhino Server.

For more information about Ansible integration in orcharhino, see Managing Hosts using Ansible.

Synchronizing Ansible Collections

On orcharhino, you can synchronize your Ansible Collections from any Ansible Galaxy and other orcharhino instances. Ansible Collections will appear on orcharhino as a new repository type in the orcharhino management UI menu under Content after the sync.

Procedure

  1. In the orcharhino management UI, navigate to Content > Products.

  2. Select the required product name.

  3. In the Products window, select the name of a product that you want to create a repository for.

  4. Click the Repositories tab, and then click New Repository.

  5. In the Name field, enter a name for the repository.

    The Label field is populated automatically based on the name.

  6. From the Type list, select ansible collection.

  7. In the Upstream URL field, enter the URL for the upstream collections repository.

    The URL can be any Ansible Galaxy endpoint. For example, https://galaxy.ansible.com.

  8. Optional: In the Requirements.yml field, you can specify the list of collections you want to sync from the endpoint, as well as their versions.

    If you do not specify the list of collections, everything from the endpoint will be synced.

    ---
collections:
- name: my_namespace.my_collection
  version: 1.2.3

    For more information, see Installing roles and collections from the same requirements.yml file in the Galaxy User Guide.

  9. Optional: Deselect Sync Dependencies if you do not want orcharhino to resolve and synchronize dependencies. By default, orcharhino synchronizes all required dependencies.

  10. Authenticate.

    1. To sync orcharhino from Private Automation Hub, enter your token in the Auth Token field.

    2. To sync orcharhino from console.redhat.com, enter your token in the Auth Token field and enter your SSO URL in the the Auth URL field.

    3. To sync orcharhino from orcharhino, leave both authentication fields blank.

  11. Click Save.

  12. Navigate to the Ansible Collections repository.

  13. From the Select Action menu, select Sync Now.
