Use AppStream modules in RHEL

[subinznz]

if i have install_postgresql_repo set to false ,

can we fallback to use the built in appstream module
and enable the following instead of disabling ?

• block: # Preparing to install PostgreSQL

  • name: PostgreSQL | check if appstream module is enabled
    ansible.builtin.command: "dnf -y -C module list postgresql"
    register: postgresql_module_result
    changed_when: false

  • name: PostgreSQL | disable appstream module
    ansible.builtin.command: "dnf -y -C module disable postgresql"
    when: "'[x] ' not in postgresql_module_result.stdout"
    when:

  • installation_method == "packages"

  • ansible_os_family == "RedHat"

  • ansible_distribution_major_version >= '8'
    ignore_errors: true
    tags: install_postgres

Hi @subinznz!

I fixed the logic for the AppStream module here: #1076

thank you @vitabaks

are you also able to enable extras if using install_postgresql_repo ?

sudo dnf config-manager --enable pgdg-rhel8-extras

it becomes super useful to get latest binaries for haproxy etc on older distros e.g. oracle linux 8 from a trusted source.

https://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/common/pgdg-rhel8-extras/redhat/rhel-8-x86_64/

Thanks

Hi! Create an issue to add pgdg-rhel8-extras
