# Ansible AUR helper # Ansible Collection - kewlfft.aur
## Description
This collection includes an Ansible module to manage packages from the AUR.
### Installation
#### Install from Ansible Galaxy
To install this collection from Ansible Galaxy run the following command:
``` shell
ansible-galaxy collection install kewlfft.aur
```
Alternatively, you can include the collection in a `requirements.yml` file and then run `ansible-galaxy collection install -r requirements.yml`. Here is an example `requirements.yml` file:
``` yaml
collections:
- name: kewlfft.aur
```
#### Install locally for development
If you want to test changes to the source code, run the following commands from the root of this git repository to locally build and install the collection:
``` shell
ansible-galaxy collection build --force
ansible-galaxy collection install --force "./kewlfft-aur-$(cat galaxy.yml | grep version: | awk '{print $2}').tar.gz"
```

## Installing ### Usage
### AUR package #### Notes
The [ansible-aur-git](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ansible-aur-git) package is available in the AUR.
Note: The module is installed in `/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules` which is one of the default module library paths.
### Manual installation
Just clone the *ansible-aur* repository into your user custom-module directory:
```
git clone https://github.com/kewlfft/ansible-aur.git ~/.ansible/plugins/modules/aur
```
### Ansible Galaxy
*ansible-aur* is available in Galaxy which is a hub for sharing Ansible content. To download it, use:
```
ansible-galaxy install kewlfft.aur
```
Note: If this module is installed from Ansible Galaxy, you will need to list it explicitly in your playbook:
```
# playbook.yml
- hosts: localhost
roles:
- kewlfft.aur
tasks:
- aur: name=package_name
```
or in your role:
```
# meta/main.yml
dependencies:
- kewlfft.aur
```
```
# tasks/main.yml
- aur: name=package_name
```
## Usage

* The scope of this module is installation and update from the AUR; for package removal or for updates from the repositories, it is recommended to use the official *pacman* module. * The scope of this module is installation and update from the AUR; for package removal or for updates from the repositories, it is recommended to use the official *pacman* module.

### Create the "aur_builder" user #### Create the "aur_builder" user
While Ansible expects to SSH as root, makepkg or AUR helpers do not allow executing operations as root, they fail with "you cannot perform this operation as root". 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*.

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: 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 name: aur_builder
create_home: no create_home: no
group: wheel 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 path: /etc/sudoers.d/11-install-aur_builder
line: 'aur_builder ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/pacman' line: 'aur_builder ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/pacman'
create: yes create: yes
validate: 'visudo -cf %s' 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: Use it in a task, as in the following examples:
``` ``` yaml
# Install trizen using makepkg, skip if it is already installed # This task does not use the `aur` module's FQCN. It will fail.

state: present

become_user: aur_builder become_user: aur_builder
# Install package_name using the first known helper found # This task uses the `aur` module's FQCN (Fully Qualified Collection Name).
