I think this is a great idea, being able to configure and populate multiple
Katello servers from a git repository is something I'm going to be doing in
a couple of months and this sound perfect for it!

I'd prefer one repository for all modules otherwise this could mean a lot
of repositories and if a users wants to use them they have to download each
and every one vs cloning a single repo.

Does this mean that it's one repository for all modules or one
repository per module? I'm fine either way, just want to curious.

[foreman-dev] Proposal/Request for an foreman-ansible-modules repository

[Eric D Helms]

Howdy,

I have a number of Ansible modules that I have developed for managing
Katello entities and Foreman organizations. An Ansible module can be
thought of as providing extentsibility and new functionality to Ansible
roles and playbooks. In this case, by being able to manage entities within
Foreman and Katello. There are also a number of modules I have seen upon
google search that exist for other various Foreman entities.

I would like to share the modules I have written and encourage other
community users to share theirs in a centralized place for use. Ideally,
these modules would be offered to and go into Ansible's core set of modules
after some time of development. However, I believe they need somewhere
useful to live during said transition and as a place to harden them before
offering them up and awaiting an Ansible release.

Thus, I would like to propose and request a repository on theforeman Github
organization named 'foreman-ansible-modules' as a place for these to live.
The goals of the repository would be:

 * House Ansible modules for managing Foreman and Katello entities
 * Encourage other community users to add in their own to centralize them
 * Have a mission to contribute the modules to Ansible proper and remove
them from this repository when they are accepted

If the development community feels this should be not be part of theforeman
proper then so be it and I will manage them on my own. But, I ask that we
weigh the value that this could add to the community at large.
