Install Zoom flatpak in RedHat-like systems - Ansible module flatpak — Video Tutorial

How to install Zoom flatpak in RedHat-like systems with Ansible? I'm going to show you a live Playbook with some simple Ansible code. I'm Luca Berton and welcome to today's episode of Ansible Pilot. Ansible install Zoom flatpak in RedHat-like systems - `community.general.flatpak` - Manage flatpaks Today we are going to talk about the Ansible module `flatpak`. The full name is `community.general.flatpak`, it's part of `community.general` modules maintained by the Ansible Community. The purpose of the `flatpak` module is to Manage flatpaks in the target system. Parameters - name _string_ - flatpak name - state _string_ - present/absent - method _string_ - system/user - remote _string_ - flathub - no_dependencies _string_ - no/yes - executable _string_ - flatpak Let me summarize the parameters of `flatpak` module. The only required is "name", where you specify the flatpak name to install or remove. The parameter "state" specifies if you would like to perform the install action ("present" option) or the remove action ("absent" option). The parameter "method" specifies if you would like to install the flatpak system-wide (default) or only for the current user. The following parameters are more for advanced users. For example specify a different source with `remote` parameter other than the default "flathub"; not install the dependency "no_dependencies" parameter or if the `executable` is different than the usual `flatpak`.
