When writing Ansible roles, most users adjust the `meta/main.yml` file to include platforms the role is designed for - e.g. Fedora 40. In a comment `molecule` usually links to the URL [https://galaxy.ansible.com/api/v1/platforms/](https://galaxy.ansible.com/api/v1/platforms/) which now points to 404 as galaxy-ng is online. Is there another list of all the supported platforms? I couldn’t find them in the `ansible-galaxy` or `molecule` documentation - what am I missing? Thanks a lot in advance! ---

So keep in mind I don’t really know how any of this works. This seems to be a changing landscape and documentation hasn’t caught up with it yet. I can find a list of platforms [here](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/stable-2.16/lib/ansible/galaxy/data/apb/meta/main.yml.j2#L20), but that is for the current release of ansible-core. In the upcoming 2.17 release, that information disappears. I don’t know why or where. There is a semi-related forum topic [Does galaxy-importer need its own documentation?](http://forum.ansible.com/t/does-galaxy-importer-need-its-own-documentation/4979) but so far it doesn’t give a lot of details on what’s going on (or how best to let people like yourself know what’s going on). ---

My understanding is that Galaxy\_NG doesn’t support platforms anymore (possibly as a result of the pulp2 to pulp3 migration?). > [@Role meta data platform key broken?](http://forum.ansible.com/t/role-meta-data-platform-key-broken/4651/9): > > platforms is ignored in the current version of galaxy, we are in the middle of removing it from the generator template in core. ---

No, they are still updated in the backend, they were just a feature that was discontinued in favor of tags ---

It’s not an error yet, but I could see it being deprecated by GalaxyNG or disallowed by ansible-lint since it was an intentional decision to not implement it for GalaxyNG. I removed it from the ansible-core templates since Galaxy is the source of truth. None of the core templates ever documented the full list of options, just pointed to the Galaxy. I really liked the `platforms` convention for documentation of standalone roles though, just would not add this information in the `galaxy_info` key anymore. old list: [nginx-container/meta/main.yml at b3900ec12c3c0c26f4ebffbab0fc42200ddac5f4 · ansible/nginx-container · GitHub](https://github.com/ansible/nginx-container/blob/HEAD/meta/main.yml#L30-L177) much more recent: [ansible-sandbox/get-galaxy-platforms at 363024e19300281123252c2273828f38a628c70b · dmsimard/ansible-sandbox · GitHub](https://github.com/dmsimard/ansible-sandbox/tree/HEAD/get-galaxy-platforms) (thanks to @rfc2549).
