Hello,

I have a question about   ansible-galaxy  collection installation path.

I ran the installation a first time, but in the wrong path...   '/home/derouet/ is not a good choice...

root@apaai001:/tmp/derouet #
root@apaai001:/tmp/derouet # /opt/freeware/bin/ansible-galaxy collection install /tmp/derouet/ibm-power_aix-1.6.4.tar.gz
Starting galaxy collection install process
Process install dependency map
Starting collection install process
Installing 'ibm.power_aix:1.6.4' to '/home/derouet/.ansible/collections/ansible_collections/ibm/power_aix'
ibm.power_aix:1.6.4 was installed successfully
root@apaai001:/tmp/derouet #

I ran the installation a second time, in the right path !  Is /home/ansible/  really a good choice ?

root@apaai001:/tmp/derouet #

[WARNING]: The specified collections path '/home/ansible/collection' is not part of the configured Ansible collections paths

directory.

ibm.power_aix:1.6.4 was installed successfully
root@apaai001:/tmp/derouet #

I understand i have to update the ansible.cfg file.

But when i have a look at it i can only see the "ssh connection" needed parameters...   Nothing about '/home/derouet/'...

root@apaai001:/opt/freeware/etc/ansible # cat ansible.cfg
# Since Ansible 2.12 (core):
# To generate an example config file (a "disabled" one with all default settings, commented out):
#               $ ansible-config init --disabled > ansible.cfg
#
# Also you can now have a more complete file by including existing plugins:
# ansible-config init --disabled -t all > ansible.cfg

# For previous versions of Ansible you can check for examples in the 'stable' branches of each version
# Note that this file was always incomplete  and lagging changes to configuration settings

# for example, for 2.9: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/stable-2.9/examples/ansible.cfg

[ssh_connection]
ssh_args = -o ForwardAgent=yes -o ControlPersist=30m -o ServerAliveInterval=45 -o ServerAliveCountMax=10

root@apaai001:/opt/freeware/etc/ansible #

I understand i have to use COLLECTIONS_PATHS parameter.

But when having a look to the details below i can see both "configured module search path" and "ansible collection location"

root@apaai001:/opt/freeware/etc/ansible # ansible --version
ansible [core 2.14.2]
  config file = /opt/freeware/etc/ansible/ansible.cfg
  configured module search path = ['/home/derouet/.ansible/plugins/modules', '/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules']
  ansible python module location = /opt/freeware/lib/python3.9/site-packages/ansible
  ansible collection location = /home/derouet/.ansible/collections:/usr/share/ansible/collections
  executable location = /opt/freeware/bin/ansible.orig
  python version = 3.9.17 (main, Jul  5 2023, 06:17:22) [GCC 10.3.0] (/opt/freeware/bin/python3.9)
  jinja version = 3.1.2
  libyaml = True
root@apaai001:/opt/freeware/etc/ansible #

So what is the best solution to update the ansible configuration file from "/home/derouet" to "/home/ansible/" ?

I do not kwow if "/home/ansible" is the right place to store ansible-galaxy collections...  What could be a better choice ?

I thank you very much for your help,

Have a nice day,

I would like to change "/home/derouet" to "/home/ansible/", how can i do this update please ?

But i understand i have to absolutely update the "configured Ansible collections" paths.

Of course i will take time to find the solution in the documentation, but maybe you have an idea ?

I thank you very much for your help,

Have a nice day,

You can add a ansible.cfg file in your project with the following content to specify any path you want in your system. This makes it easy to use different collection versions in different projects.

[defaults]collections_paths = /your/custom/path
