• ynh_apps is the list of applications to install.
• label allows you to give a custom name to the application on the user interface.
• link is the name of the Yunohost application to install.

About the arguments

• domain is essential. You have to choose one of the domains of your Yunohost instance.
• path is required. You have to choose a URL to access your application like domain.tld/my_app. Just use / if the application is to be installed on a subdomain.
• is_public argument is a common one. Set to yes, the application will be accessible to everyone, even without authentication to the Yunohost SSO portal. Set to no, the application will only be accessible after authentication from the YunoHost SSO. Finally, if the application has an API that can be called, whether the is_public argument is set to yes or no makes no difference. API calls are not blocked by YunoHost SSO but still require token authentication if the application requires it.

For the other arguments, you have to refer to the manifest.json available in the repository of the Yunohost application you install. You can learn more about this part here.

About the post-installation

It is possible to complete the installation of applications by adding jinja template configuration files or scripts written by yourself. To enable this feature, define the post_install variable which corresponds to the list of post-installation files of your applications. Because this task uses the template module, you can use your own variables and call them in your template files. To know more about this module, click here.

• src is mandatory. This is the directory where the template file is located on the machine running Ansible.
• dest is mandatory. This is the directory where the template file will be stored.
• type is mandatory:
  • If you specify script as the value, then the template file will have 740 rights. It will be executed after it is transferred to the Yunohost server (usually in /tmp/) and then deleted.
  • If you specify config as the value, then the template file will have 660 rights. It will be transferred to the Yunohost server (usually in /var/www/AppName/) and after you could import it with a shell script on the side for example.

For owner and group, by default the file will take as owner the name of the application and as owner www-data(NGINX group). You can change them by specifying different values.

Dependencies

None.
