Including Package libraries within ansible #5

Hi Paul,

I had a quick question regarding packaging up the zip folders for the environment. As far as I understand it, if we are running this project within a docker container, we would need to include those folders before we can run ansible-playbook.

Want to know whether we can package up the zip files under a 'resource' folder and remove the first step of adding adding the .zip files.

Thank you, Jose Sanchez Garcia

Hi Jose:

That's a good question, and I think it could be worth investigating. My gut is that we would need Oracle to agree to allow the .zip packages to be distributed in this way. Since I have had to log in to do that, I expect they want others to log in so that they can keep track on who is using the packages. Thus most likely, distributing them on github is likely breaking their agreement.

Do you mind reaching out to them and asking?

Thank you, Paul

Hi Paul,

Yes, the current way of obtaining this .zip files is to login. I was thinking of using the latest .zip files which we would download ourselves and add them to a folder which we could reference within Ansible. We would just need to download the files ourselves and specify a folder to put them to. Would that be doable for the task I want to accomplish?

I will try reaching out to Oracle whether there is a way we can automate the way we can download the files we need.

Thank you, Jose
