Example Variables

example one - minimal:

manage_yum_repository:
  - name: CentOS-Base
    baseurl: http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=os&infra=$infra
    description: Centos Base repository

result example one:

Create file CentOS-Base.repo in to /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory
example of the file content CentOS-Base.repo:

[CentOS-Base]
baseurl = http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=os&infra=$infra
enabled = 1
gpgcheck = 0
name = Centos Base repository

example two

manage_yum_repository:
  - name: base
    baseurl: http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=os&infra=$infra
    description: CentOS-$releasever - Base
    file: CentOS-Base
    gpgkey: file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-7
    gpgcheck: yes
    state: present
    enabled: no

result example two:

Create file CentOS-Base.repo in to /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory
but the name will be used by base
example of the file content CentOS-Base.repo:

[base]
baseurl = http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=os&infra=$infra
enabled = 0
gpgcheck = 1
gpgkey = file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-7
name = CentOS-$releasever - Base

example three:

Add multiple repositories into the same file CentOS-Base.repo.
To do this, it is necessary that the variable file matches.

manage_yum_repository:
  - name: base
    baseurl: http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=os&infra=$infra
    description: CentOS-$releasever - Base
    file: CentOS-Base
    gpgkey: file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-7
    gpgcheck: yes
    state: present

  - name: updates
    baseurl: http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=updates&infra=$infra
    description: CentOS-$releasever - Updates
    file: CentOS-Base
    gpgkey: file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-7
    gpgcheck: yes
    state: present

  - name: extras
    baseurl: http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=extras&infra=$infra
    description: CentOS-$releasever - Extras
    file: CentOS-Base
    gpgkey: file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-7
    gpgcheck: yes
    state: present

  - name: centosplus
    baseurl: http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=centosplus&infra=$infra
    description: CentOS-$releasever - Plus
    file: CentOS-Base
    gpgkey: file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-7
    gpgcheck: yes
    state: present

result three:

Create file CentOS-Base.repo in to /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory
The file CentOS-Base.repo contains multi-line text base, updates, extras and centosplus.

[base]
baseurl = http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=os&infra=$infra
enabled = 1
gpgcheck = 1
gpgkey = file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-7
name = CentOS-$releasever - Base

[updates]
baseurl = http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=updates&infra=$infra
enabled = 1
gpgcheck = 1
gpgkey = file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-7
name = CentOS-$releasever - Updates

[extras]

Example Playbook

Including an example of how to use your role (for instance, with variables passed in as parameters) is always nice for users too:

- hosts: all
  become: true
  roles:
     - { role: manage_yum_repository }
