Cannot install nginx with Debian 13 #923
Description
Bug Overview
Trying to use this role to install nginx on Debian 13 runs into an error as the role still tries to use apt-key to add the NGINX signing key. As far as I can tell, this has been deprecated for at the very least 5 years, possibly 15, and Debian 13 ships without the apt-key binary entirely.
This https://peateasea.de/avoiding-ansible-apt-key-on-debian/ has some advice on how to handle key addition without the ansible built-in apt_key module.
Expected Behavior
The role should work on Debian >= 13 and install nginx
Steps to Reproduce the Bug
- I have deployed/run the NGINX Ansible role using the following
playbook.yml:
---
- hosts: servers
become: yes
roles:
- nginxinc.nginx
- I have seen the following error(s) on my terminal/logs:
FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Failed to find required executable "apt-key" in paths: /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin"}
Environment Details
