This topic describes how to install Ansible roles without .netrc file using Ansible client CLI by connecting directly to a Galaxy server by including a token when connecting to the Ansible LabKey server.

To install roles via CLI without using the .netrc file:

Run the following command:

ansible-galaxy role install <NAMESPACE.ROLE_NAME>.tar.gz -s https://[JFrogPlatformURL]/artifactory/api/ansible/<REPOSITORY_NAME> --token=<TOKEN>

Where:

  • <NAMESPACE.ROLE_NAME>: The namespace and role name

  • [JFrogPlatformURL]: The URL of your JPD

  • <REPOSITORY_NAME>: The name of the target repository

  • <TOKEN>: Your Artifactory identity token

For example:

ansible-galaxy role install geerlingguy.k8s.tar.gz -s https://company.jfrog.io/artifactory/api/ansible/ansible-virtual --token=w8RvZ3tGkP7sVbNfHjMqYxAcX2pLdE9jU1oI5uC6yFzTmK4rB0eSgWlQhOaD

Note
