Custom k3s_binary_url

[bconn98]

Summary

Allow for overriding of k3s_binary_url for use in FOSS controlled environments. My employer requires that we pull FOSS components from a company controlled nexus mirror and this does not appear to be supported by the role currently.

User Story

As an ansible user, I want to override the k3s_binary_url variable so that I can pull from sources other than GitHub.

Hi @bconn98

If your control node has connectivity to the Nexus mirror, you could have a pre_tasks section in your playbook to download the k3s binary to the {{ playbook_dir }}/files directory, and then invoke the role with k3s_airgap: true.

@xanmanning @onedr0p what are you thoughts on this? If something was implemented for this, could the usage be something like:

k3s_airgap: true
k3s_binary_url: https://nexus.company.com/path/to/k3s
k3s_checksum_url: https://nexus.company.com/path/to/checksum.txt

And modify the ensure_uploads.yml playbook to run some get_url tasks when the above two variables are defined with k3s_airgap?

We're open to PRs on that implementation.

agree, happy to take a look if you have a solution in mind to implement

Implemented logic for this (untested) in https://github.com/dbrennand/ansible-role-k3s/commit/56db9e894eeeee5182b350150e10a85e3a5179c0.

Usage:

k3s_airgap: true
k3s_binary_url: https://nexus.company.com/path/to/k3s
k3s_hash_url: https://nexus.company.com/path/to/checksum.txt

That implementation seems fine to me.
