ansible-uncompress

Uncompress collection for ansible. Lets you download an uncompress .gz and .bz2 files which currently isn't possible with the unarchive built-in module. https://galaxy.ansible.com/ui/repo/published/compscidr/uncompress/

Motivated by the push-back against .gz .bz2 not being supported for compressed files: ansible/ansible-modules-core#3241 (comment)

and the existance of this project: https://github.com/vadikgo/uncompress.

Updating the existing project to support installation via a meta/requirements.yml file and then submitting to ansible galaxy so that it can be found and installed easily.

installation via galaxy:

ansible-galaxy collection install compscidr.uncompress

installation via galaxy / requirements

Add the following to requirements.yml

collections:
- name: compscidr.uncompress

Then run ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml

installation via git / requirements

Add the following to your requirements.yml file:

collections:
  - name: git+https://github.com/compscidr/ansible-uncompress.git,main

Then run ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml

example use in task file:

---
- name: install cheat # https://github.com/cheat/cheat/blob/master/INSTALLING.md
  tags: cheat
  become: true
  compscidr.uncompress:
    copy: no
    src: https://github.com/cheat/cheat/releases/download/4.3.1/cheat-linux-amd64.gz
    dest: /usr/local/bin/cheat
    mode: '755'
