Installing NodeJS LTS for Ansible



I'm looking for an appropriate Ansible Role or Ansible YAML file for installing NodeJS LTS on a Ubuntu 16.04.3 xenial system. I tried more than 10 Ansible roles from Galaxy but didn't find any of them working (throws error such as potentially dangerous to add this PPA etc..


potentially dangerous to add this PPA etc.



Can anyone provide any Ansible playbook or suggest me a role to install NodeJS LTS on Ubuntu 16.04?





Do you know what are the steps to install it without Ansible? If so, why don't you create your own role?

Here is the working example:


---
- hosts: all
gather_facts: yes
become: yes
vars:
NODEJS_VERSION: "8"
ansible_distribution_release: "xenial" #trusty
tasks:
- name: Install the gpg key for nodejs LTS
apt_key:
url: "https://deb.nodesource.com/gpgkey/nodesource.gpg.key"
state: present

- name: Install the nodejs LTS repos
apt_repository:
repo: "deb https://deb.nodesource.com/node_ NODEJS_VERSION .x ansible_distribution_release main"
state: present
update_cache: yes

- name: Install the nodejs
apt:
name: nodejs
state: present



Hope it will help you





it somehow works but shows the error "msg": "unsupported parameter for module: filename". Any idea?

ansible_distribution_release



You can use:



ansible-galaxy install nodesource.node


ansible-galaxy install nodesource.node



and then on your playbook, add

roles:
- nodesource.node



roles:
- nodesource.node





For all who puts "-", please describe why. I don't see any problems with this suggestion. It does not work or what?
