params: Add support for Rocky Linux. #43
base: master
Are you sure you want to change the base?

Rocky Linux is a compatible RedHat rebuild, so COPR repository can be used too.
Would this also extend to AlmaLinux? |
Very likely. I did not add it to the list since I do not have an AlmaLinux installation to test it on. In case you have AlmaLinux nodes and can test it works as expected, of course the list can be extended. |
I have to ask, is version 7 applicable for RHEL 8? Seeing AlmaLinux/Rocky is only RHEL 8 and 9. Also, it seems
I’ll be happy to test this out. |
No, it isn't. My plan (in 2021) was to add a PR after this one to add support for the different versions. Since this never got merged, we did for now disable package management via this module and are using:
It's not really a replacement, since it uses a different approach. Switching to |
Thank you for the explaining this stuff. So, am I safe to assume that this would fix AlmaLInux too if that was added to be added to the list:

With the current code, you should also get a warning such as:
The error you get should be "overridable" by configuring manually (i.e. specifying the variables manually when instantiating the module class). If you can confirm that this works for you on Alma, or that adding Alma to the list works for you, I can of course add this change to the PR. Of course, changing the repository e.g. to COPR is still a second step to get it fully functional. |
Making it work for AlmaLinux 9, we needed to set the following: # Manual fix for making it work on AlmaLinux.
wireguard::manage_package: false
wireguard::manage_repo: false
wireguard::package_name:
- wireguard-tools
# Dummy data
wireguard::repo_url: "https://do-not-exist.io/almalinux.rpm" After that, we were able to utilize the module. |
