Ansible role to Install the oracle Java8 on ubuntu or mint using the webupd8 ppa

ansible-java8-oracle

Ansible role to Install the Oracle Java8 webupd8 ppa.

Should work on Ubuntu or Mint. Debian has no ppa suport AFAIK.

Licence is auto-accepted (no prompt) and the whole thing is idempotent (executing it several times will not do unneeded steps again).

No usage of 'shell:' only ansible commands.

Requirements

None.

Role Variables

None.

Dependencies

None.

Example Playbook

	- hosts: servers
	  roles:
		- ansible-java8-oracle

License

GPL V3, but that is interesting on fork only, you can use it at will.

ansible-java8-oracle's Issues

Awesome!

Thank you. Works a treat.

Workaround for error Invalid repository ppa:webupd8team/java

Note that I had to add the repository differently because "apt_repository: repo='ppa:webupd8team/java' state=present" threw an error saying that it was an invalid repository. I got the id from the webupd8team/java website

- name: Add an apt key by id from a keyserver
  become: yes
  apt_key:
    keyserver: keyserver.ubuntu.com
    id: 7B2C3B0889BF5709A105D03AC2518248EEA14886
    state: present
    
- name: Add Oracle Java Repository
  become: yes
  apt_repository: repo='deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/java/ubuntu trusty main' state=present

The license acceptance and java installation part was working fine

install fails on ubuntu 14.04 "Could not replace file"

I am attempting to install java8 on some AWS instances running ubuntu14.04.

Ansible 2.0.1

The install fails when trying to alter the sources.list
Other recipes run fine on this host.

My playbook main looks like this:

- hosts: master
  sudo: yes
  roles:
    - ansible-java8-oracle
