How to clean apt cache using ansible?


This link hints at existence of a module but I am unable to implement it. Any solution is anticipated.


Solution

  • If you're using Ansible 2.13 or later, you can use the clean parameter:

    - ansible.builtin.apt:
        clean: yes
      become: yes
    

    In older versions, you can use the command module:

    - command: apt-get clean
      become: yes
