Synopsis

Sync Cobbler to commit changes.

Parameters

Parameter	Comments
host string	The name or IP address of the Cobbler system. Default: `"127.0.0.1"`
password string	The password to log in to Cobbler.
port integer	Port number to be used for REST connection. The default value depends on parameter `use_ssl`.
use_ssl boolean	If `false`, an HTTP connection is used instead of the default HTTPS connection. Choices: `false` `true` ← (default)
username string	The username to log in to Cobbler. Default: `"cobbler"`
validate_certs boolean	If `false`, SSL certificates are not validated. This should only set to `false` when used on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates. Choices: `false` `true` ← (default)

Attributes

Attribute	Support	Description
check_mode	Support: full	Can run in `check_mode` and return changed status prediction without modifying target.
diff_mode	Support: none	Will return details on what has changed (or possibly needs changing in `check_mode`), when in diff mode.

Notes

Note

Concurrently syncing Cobbler is bound to fail with weird errors.
On Python 2.7.8 and older (such as RHEL7) you may need to tweak the Python behaviour to disable certificate validation. More information at Certificate verification in Python standard library HTTP clients.

  community.general.cobbler_sync:
