I'm installing packages from the control machine, but it's a bit of work
(so it probably won't be worth it for just a few packages), and I'm still
figuring out the details.
Basically, I create a local yum repository, then temporarily run an HTTP
server on the control machine (maybe with Ansible 2.0 I can reliably start
and kill it as part of the playbook, but right now it's a manual process);
for example using "python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000"
I set the host to the control server using the SSH_CLIENT environment
variable (if there's a better way to access that, I'd like to know):
yum_local_host: "{{ (ansible_connection is defined and ansible_connection
== 'local') | ternary('localhost', ansible_env.SSH_CLIENT.split()[0]) }}"
yum_local_port: 8000
yum_repo_base: "http://{{ yum_local_host }}:{{ yum_local_port }}"
Then I use templates to set up the repositories on the remote side.
Currently I'm looking at using a custom yum.conf so that it doesn't
interfere with the normal configuration.
If anyone wants more details, or has suggestions for how to improve this
setup, let me know.
