Note
This module is part of ansible-base and included in all Ansible installations. In most cases, you can use the short module name apt_repository even without specifying the collections: keyword. Despite that, we recommend you use the FQCN for easy linking to the module documentation and to avoid conflicting with other collections that may have the same module name.
New in version 0.7: of ansible.builtin
The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.
| Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| codename string added in 2.3 of ansible.builtin | Override the distribution codename to use for PPA repositories. Should usually only be set when working with a PPA on a non-Ubuntu target (for example, Debian or Mint). | |

| install_python_apt boolean |
| Whether to automatically try to install the Python apt library or not, if it is not already installed. Without this library, the module does not work. Runs apt-get install python-apt for Python 2, and apt-get install python3-apt for Python 3.Only works with the system Python 2 or Python 3. If you are using a Python on the remote that is not the system Python, set install_python_apt=false and ensure that the Python apt library for your Python version is installed some other way. |
