I want to use ansible.posix in my Ansible scripts. The simple
ansible-galaxy collection install ansible.posix
does not work, because the network (with control node and managed nodes) is not connected to the Internet.
How can I install a collection via files transferred from another machine?
I don’t really understand what you’re trying to do. Isn’t ansible.posix included within Ansible out-of-the-box?
Installing collections — Ansible Community Documentation describes how to download a collection tarball from Ansible Galaxy, and the same page has multiple examples of how to install a collection from a tarball.
@mcen1 ansible.posix is part of the Ansible community distribution, ansible · PyPI. But there are multiple things called “Ansible”, so they might only use ansible-core directly, which does not come with ansible.posix.
You can install a collection from a file, see 3rd example Installing collections — Ansible Community Documentation
To elaborate on @felixfontein’s info: I am using RHEL9 repos (only thing we have offline access to) and I was able to install ansible-core from there but no posix stuff.
Thanks for the link. Explains it well.
