Stuck on an issue?

ansible-galaxy should support git+ssh urls.

See original GitHub issue

The examples given for ansible-galaxy imply that it can fetch roles via git+ssh.

However, supplying such a url causes it to fetch from https://galaxy.ansible.com and fail if the role is not found there.

It would be convenient, for use-cases where publishing via galaxy.ansible.com is prohibited or inconvenient, for ansible-galaxy to have the capability of fetching roles via the git+ssh protocol.

I’m trying this exactly like that today, but it’s trying to get the repo from the galaxy:

  - name: company.collection
    src: git@gitlab.our.domain:path/to/repo/collection.git
    version: 'main'
    scm: git

This is the verbose output of /usr/local/bin/ansible-galaxy collection install -vvvv -p /usr/local/lib -r ansible_collections/requirements.yml

Collection requirement 'company.collection' is the name of a collection
Collection 'company.collection' is not available from server default https://galaxy.ansible.com/api/
ERROR! Failed to find collection company.collection:main

I’m officially confused…
