This Ansible collection allows for easy interaction with Ansible Automation Platform via Ansible roles using the Ansible Automation Platform modules.

## Getting Help

## Requirements

The ansible.platform collections MUST be installed in order for this collection to work. It is recommended they be invoked in the playbook in the following way.

```yaml
---
- name: Playbook to configure ansible platform post installation
hosts: localhost
connection: local
vars:
gateway_validate_certs: true
collections:
- ansible.platform
```

## Installing this collection

You can install the infra.platform_configuration.collection with the Ansible Galaxy CLI:

```console
ansible-galaxy collection install infra.platform_configuration
```

You can also include it in a `requirements.yml` file and install it with `ansible-galaxy collection install -r requirements.yml`, using the format:

```yaml
---
collections:
- name: infra.platform_configuration
# If you need a specific version of the collection, you can specify like this:
# version: ...
```

## Conversion from tower_configuration

If you were using a version of redhat_cop.tower_configuration, please refer to our Conversion Guide here: [Conversion Guide](docs/CONVERSION_GUIDE.md)

## Using this collection

The ansible.platform collection must be invoked in the playbook in order for Ansible to pick up the correct modules to use.

The following command will invoke the collection playbook. This is considered a starting point for the collection.

```console
ansible-playbook infra.platform_configuration.configure_platform.yml
```

Otherwise it will look for the modules only in your base installation. If there are errors complaining about "couldn't resolve module/action" this is the most likely cause.

```yaml
- name: Playbook to configure ansible platform post installation
hosts: localhost
connection: local
vars:
gateway_validate_certs: true
collections:
- ansible.platform
```

Define following vars here, or in `platform_configs/platform_auth.yml`
`gateway_hostname: ansible-platform-web-svc-test-project.example.com`

You can also specify authentication by a combination of either:

- `gateway_hostname`, `gateway_username`, `gateway_password`
- `gateway_hostname`, `gateway_oauthtoken`

The OAuth2 token is the preferred method. You can obtain the token through the preferred `ansible.platform.token` module, or by creating one
via the AAP browser interface.

Gateway token module would be invoked with this code:

```yaml
- name: Create a new token using platform username/password
ansible.platform.token:
description: 'Creating token to test platform jobs'
scope: "write"
state: present
gateway_host: "{{ gateway_hostname }}"
gateway_username: "{{ gateway_username }}"
gateway_password: "{{ gateway_password }}"
```
