Usage

Install Playbook

For full service configuration details, refer to each role README file:

Offline installation

Making the amq_streams_common_archive_file archive available to the playbook working directory, and setting amq_streams_common_offline_install to True, allows to skip the download tasks. The amq_streams_common_download_dir path for the archive does match the downloaded archive path, so that it is also used as a cache when multiple hosts are provisioned in a cluster.

  vars:
    amq_streams_common_offline_install: true
    amq_streams_common_download_dir: "/tmp"

Install from alternate sources

It is possible to perform downloads from alternate sources (like corporate Nexus, Artifactory, proxy, etc), using the amq_streams_common_download_url variable; make sure the final downloaded filename matches with the source filename described by the amq_streams_common_archive_file variable (ie. kafka_-a.b.c-x.y.z.tgz).

For Red Hat customers, this collection is released as a Technology Preview feature as the Red Hat Ansible certified content collection for AMQ Streams.
