`dnf_module`

Provides interactions with the dnf module commands.

Actions

These map to dnf module subcommands, documented here A basic summary for each is included below:

:switch_to - (Default) Enable a module stream and upgrade any packages to versions provided by the module
:enable - Enable a module stream without installing any packages
:disable - Disable a module stream without removing any packages
:install - Enable a module stream and install its packages
:remove - Disable a module stream and remove its packages
:reset - Unset module state and remove packages not in the default streams (this action is not idempotent)

Name	Type	Default	Description
`module_name`	`String`	Resource name	Name of the module to install.
`options`	`String` or `Array`		Any additional options to pass to DNF
`flush_cache`	`true`, `false`	`true`	Whether to flush the Chef package cache after the module action

Flushing Chef's package cache is needed when switching to a module stream added during the Chef run, e.g. from a new repo.

Enable or update the Postgres module and related installed packages to PG 13:

# this is the default action
dnf_module 'postgres:13' do
  action :switch_to
end

Enable the Ruby 2.7 module (but do not install any of the packages):

dnf_module 'ruby:2.7' do
  action :enable
end

Enable and install packages from the PHP 7.4 module:

dnf_module 'php:7.4' do
  action :install
end
