Configure the Ansible Client to work with Collections

To configure the Ansible client to work with Collections, update the ansible.cfg file with the below snippet.

Once the snippet has been added to the ansible.cfg file and saved down, when using your Ansible client you will be directed to the Artifactory instance who will then proxy all requests to Ansible.

The sample ansible.cfg snippet which should be added to the ansible.cfg file is as follows:

[galaxy]
server_list = <REPOSITORY_NAME>

[galaxy_server.<REPOSITORY_NAME>]
url=https://<SERVER_NAME>/artifactory/api/ansible/<REPOSITORY_NAME>
token=<TOKEN>

Where:

For example:

[galaxy]
server_list = ansible-virtual

[galaxy_server.ansible-virtual]
url=https://my-awesome.jfrog.io/artifactory/api/ansible/ansible-virtual
token=<TOKEN>

The server_list parameter can include multiple repositories separated by a comma.

For example: server_list = ansible-virtual, ansible-local

Alternatively, you can choose to use the Artifactory <URL> and <Token> explicitly in your Publish and Install commands.
