It is therefore recommended to create a user, which is non-root but has no need for password with pacman in sudoers, let's call it *aur_builder*. This user can be created in an Ansible task with the following actions: ``` -- user: +- name: Create the `aur_builder` user + ansible.builtin.user: name: aur_builder create_home: no group: wheel -- lineinfile: + +- name: Allow the `aur_builder` user to run `sudo pacman` without a password + ansible.builtin.lineinfile: path: /etc/sudoers.d/11-install-aur_builder line: 'aur_builder ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/pacman' create: yes validate: 'visudo -cf %s' ``` -### Examples +#### Fully Qualified Collection Names (FQCNs) +In order to use an Ansible module that is distributed in a collection, you must use its FQCN (Fully Qualified Collection Name). A Fuly Qualified Collection Name is "the full definition of a module, plugin, or role hosted within a collection, in the form `namespace.collection.content_name`" ([Source](https://github.com/ansible-collections/overview#terminology)). In this case, the `aur` module resides in the `aur` collection which is under the `kewlfft` namespace, so its FQCN is `kewlfft.aur.aur`. + +#### Examples Use it in a task, as in the following examples: -``` -# Install trizen using makepkg, skip if it is already installed -- aur: name=trizen use=makepkg state=present +``` yaml +# This task does not use the `aur` module's FQCN.
