Adding a repo file before doing a yum install

[Nicholas Sheridan]

Hi forum **newbie alert**

I want to do this:

sudo vi /etc/yum.repos.d/kibana.repo

[kibana-4.4]

name=Kibana repository for 4.4.x packages

baseurl=http://packages.elastic.co/kibana/4.4/centos

gpgcheck=1

gpgkey=http://packages.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch

enabled=1

sudo yum -y install kibana

So I think I would normally do this:

---

- hosts: servers

  sudo: yes

  tasks:

    - name: install kibana

      apt: name= kibana update_cache=yes state=latest

But I need to write the repo file first before I do a yum - can any one help with this?

Thanks!

Nik

You are talking about yum but uses the apt module, that should be yum I
presume.

You have all the modules here
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/list_of_all_modules.html

and if you search for yum you'll find

yum_repository - Add or remove YUM repositories
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/yum_repository_module.html

You can also find the documentation on the command line like this.

$ ansible-doc --list|grep yum
yum Manages packages with the `yum'
package manager
yum_repository Add or remove YUM repositories

To get the documentation on the yum_repository module
$ ansible-doc yum_repository
