Configuring APT repositories v23

Suggest edits

This page explains how to configure APT package repositories on Debian and Ubuntu systems.

You can define named repositories in apt_repositories, and decide which ones to use by listing the names in apt_repository_list:

cluster_vars:
  apt_repositories:
    Example:
      key_id: XXXXXXXX
      key_url: https://repo.example.com/path/to/XXXXXXXX.asc
      repo: >-
        deb https://repo.example.com/repos/Example/ xxx-Example main

  apt_repository_list:
    - PGDG
    - Example

This configuration would install the GPG key (with id key_id, obtained from key_url) and a new entry under /etc/apt/sources.list.d with the given repo line (or lines) for the PGDG repository (which is already defined by default) and the new Example repository.

When you configure additional repositories, remember to include PGDG in apt_repository_list if you still want to install PGDG packages.

You can set apt_repository_list: [] to not install any repositories.
