Ubuntu Bionic Beaver must use python2 as Python interpreter due to
the way python-ipalib package is defined.
Before using the role for installation, one must install package
python2.7 before executing this role.
Based on the work by Manuel Laurent (@mlaurent205 on Github).
When loading variables in all ansible-freeipa roles, it is expected
that a file with these variables is present for each supported Linux
distribution, and then, based on the information about the distribution
provided by Ansible, the correct file is loaded.
Previously, only the facts `distribution` and dinstribution version
related facts were used, which required specific files, or links to
files for distributions in the same "family", which will probably have
the same variables set.
This change adds searching for files based on the `os_family` fact,
allowing distributions that follow the same family rules to be
supported, without any changes to the codebase. It is still possible
that a specific distribution configuration overrides the default
behavior, as `os_family` has lower priority than `distribution`.
For example, distributions on the `RedHat` family, like Oracle Linux,
Alma Linux, and Rocky Linux, work withoutadding new files, or links to
files, to fill the `vars`.
Fix issue #573. Fix issue #523.

There is a new backup role in the roles folder:
roles/ipabackup
This role allows to backup an IPA server, to copy a backup from the
server to the controller, to copy all backups from the server to the
controller, to remove a backup from the server, to remove all backups
from the server, to restore an IPA server locally and from the controller
and also to copy a backup from the controller to the server.
Here is the documentation for the role:
roles/ipabackup/README.md
New example playbooks have been added:
playbooks/backup-server.yml
playbooks/backup-server-to-controller.yml
playbooks/copy-backup-from-server.yml
playbooks/copy-all-backups-from-server.yml
playbooks/remove-backup-from-server.yml
playbooks/remove-all-backups-from-server.yml
playbooks/copy-backup-to-server.yml
playbooks/restore-server-from-controller.yml
playbooks/restore-server.yml
