Appendix A. Ansible role and collection paths in Satellite


Satellite imports and runs Ansible roles and collections from specific system paths. System-installed roles and collections are located in /usr/share/ansible, while custom roles and collections should be placed in /etc/ansible.

Satellite imports and runs Ansible roles from the following paths:

  • /etc/ansible/roles
  • /usr/share/ansible/roles
  • /etc/ansible/collections
  • /usr/share/ansible/collections

Roles and collections from installed packages are placed under /usr/share/ansible. If you want to add custom roles or collections, place them under /etc/ansible.

Note that Red Hat provides support only for Ansible roles and collections obtained from Red Hat.
