Role name in Ansible Galaxy: williamyeh.oracle-java
This Ansible role has the following features for Oracle JDK:
- Install JDK 7 or 8 version.
- Install optional Java Cryptography Extensions (JCE)
- Install for CentOS, Debian/Ubuntu, and Mac OS X families.
If you prefer OpenJDK, try alternatives such as geerlingguy.java or smola.java.
None.
User-configurable defaults:
# which version?
java_version: 8
# which subversion?
java_subversion: 77
# which directory to put the download file?
java_download_path: /tmp
# rpm/tar.gz file location:
# - true: download from Oracle on-the-fly;
# - false: copy from `{{ playbook_dir }}/files` on the control machine.
java_download_from_oracle: true
# remove temporary downloaded files?
java_remove_download: true
# install JCE?
java_install_jce: false
For other configurable internals, read tasks/set-role-variables.yml
file; for example, supported java_version
/java_subversion
combinations.
If you have a pre-downloaded jdk_tarball_file
whose filename cannot be inferred successfully by tasks/set-role-variables.yml
, you may specify it explicitly:
# Specify the pre-fetch filename (without tailing .tar.gz or .rpm or .dmg);
# used in conjunction with `java_download_from_oracle: false`.
jdk_tarball_file
# For example, if you have a `files/jdk-7u79-linux-x64.tar.gz` locally,
# but the filename cannot be inferred successfully by `tasks/set-role-variables.yml`,
# you may specify the following variables in your playbook:
#
# java_version: 7
# java_subversion: 79
# java_download_from_oracle: false
# jdk_tarball_file: jdk-7u79-linux-x64
#
Add role name williamyeh.oracle-java
to your playbook file.
Set vars in your playbook file.
Simple example:
---
# file: simple-playbook.yml
- hosts: all
roles:
- williamyeh.oracle-java
vars:
java_version: 8
For some reasons, you may want to pre-fetch .rpm and .tar.gz files before the execution of this role, instead of downloading from Oracle on-the-fly.
To do this, put the file on the {{ playbook_dir }}/files
directory in advance, and then set the java_download_from_oracle
variable to false
:
---
# file: prefetch-playbook.yml
- hosts: all
roles:
- williamyeh.oracle-java
vars:
java_version: 8
java_download_from_oracle: false
