podman_image *requires* namespace path in ee_registry_dest var

[pcunning-rh]

Summary

Changes in containers.podman:1.14.0 require images be pushed to a namespace. Using this collection, images cannot reside in the root of a PAH or Registry.

https://github.com/containers/ansible-podman-collections/blob/1.14.0/plugins/modules/podman_image.py#L801

The requirements.yml for this collection should either be version pinned to <1.14.0, or examples updated to indicate registry namespaces are required. However this is a breaking change for users and organizations not currently using registry namespaces for EEs.

podman version 4.9.4-rhel

• ansible installation method: EE

OS / ENVIRONMENT

RHEL 8.10, AAP 2.4.7

Desired Behavior

EE Build Role should function as normal using this role with an image destination such as: pah.local/custom_ee:latest

Actual Behavior

Without specifying any additional registry destination paths/variables, error Destination must be a full URL or path to a directory.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

Using default example from this repository.

  vars:
    # For controller configuration definition
    ee_builder_dir_clean: false
    builder_dir: .
    ee_update_base_images: false
    ee_reg_credential: Automation Hub Container Registry
    ee_base_image: node-2.{{ internal_cluster_fqdn }}.redhat.com/ee-minimal-rhel8
    ee_pull_collections_from_hub: true
    ah_host: node-2.{{ internal_cluster_fqdn }}.redhat.com
    ah_token: {{ token }}
    ee_registry_dest: node-2.{{ internal_cluster_fqdn }}.redhat.com
    ee_registry_username: {{ admin }}
    ee_registry_password: {{ pass }}
    ee_verbosity: 3
    ee_list:

        alt_name: Custom EE

        dependencies:
          system:
            - python38-requests
            - python38-pyyaml
          python:
            - pytz # for schedule_rrule lookup plugin
            - python-dateutil>=2.7.0 # schedule_rrule
            - awxkit # For import and export modules
          galaxy:

              - infra.controller_configuration
              - ansible.controller
              - infra.ah_configuration
        build_steps:
          prepend_final:
            - RUN whoami
            - RUN cat /etc/os-release
          append_final:
            - RUN echo This is a post-install command!
        images:
          base_image:
            name: node-2.{{ internal_cluster_fqdn }}.redhat.com/ee-minimal-rhel8:latest

To use the above vars with containers.podman > 1.13.0 you must change ee_registry_dest from:

ee_registry_dest: node-2.{{ internal_cluster_fqdn }}.redhat.com

to:

ee_registry_dest: node-2.{{ internal_cluster_fqdn }}.redhat.com/ees

... or any other repository/namespace other than ees
