client

This role bootstraps Uyuni and SUSE Manager clients.

It requires that you have a valid bootstrap script placed at /srv/www/htdocs/pub/bootstrap containing an activation key. By default, this role searches for a bootstrap script including the appropriate Linux distribution and version, e.g. bootstrap-debian11.sh or bootstrap-opensuse_leap15.4.sh.

Requirements

No requirements.

Example Playbook

Refer to the following example:

- hosts: clients
  roles:
    - role: stdevel.uyuni.client
      uyuni_server: uyuni01.evilcorp.lan

Set variables if required, e.g.:

---
- hosts: clients
  roles:
    - role: stdevel.uyuni.client
      uyuni_server: uyuni01.evilcorp.lan
      uyuni_bootstrap_filename: bootstrap-dummy.sh

      uyuni_client_state: absent

NOTE: This will not remove the appropriate system profile from Uyuni/SUSE Manager.
