Ansible Role linuxfabrik.lfops.dnf_makecache

This role manages the dnf-makecache.service and dnf-makecache.timer units. By default both are disabled and stopped, which is what most servers want — DNF caches are refreshed on demand and the periodic refresh is rarely needed.

This role is Red Hat-family only (DNF / YUM). It does not run on Debian / Ubuntu.

Available since LFOps 2.0.0.
