TFLint, Checked Against The Published Checksums

tflint on EL 10 from the GitHub release, refused by Ansible's get_url unless its SHA-256 is the one in the project's checksums.txt, and re-checked with sha256sum -c by the live test, which then lints a one-resource module with no required_providers and expects the bundled rule to say so. Provider rulesets are plugins, per repository, not this role. Original role, live-tested on Rocky Linux 10.

Documentation

tflint

TFLint tflint on EL 10 from the vendor's release, checked against the published SHA-256, pinned to a version, installed as root's binary in /usr/local/bin. Original role for EL 10, live-tested with podman on Rocky Linux 10.

No package worth the name. EL 10 carries no tflint, and a third-party repository is one more key to trust. This role takes the release from github.com/terraform-linters/tflint, has Ansible's get_url refuse the asset unless its SHA-256 is the published one, and the live test checks the asset on disk against the same published value again.

Pinned. tflint_version is what gets installed, kept in a directory of its own so the checksum file and the asset it names stay together. A newer release is a variable change and a run; the same version is changed=0.

Proven to run. The live test runs tflint --chdir /tmp/tflint-p and expects "Missing version constraint for provider" - the binary ran all the way to the point where it needed something this host does not have.

The bundled ruleset, no plugins. TFLint ships its terraform ruleset inside the binary; provider rulesets (aws, azurerm, google) are plugins fetched by tflint --init from a .tflint.hcl, per repository, and this role does not fetch any. The live test lints a one-resource module with no required_providers and expects the bundled rule to say so: "Missing version constraint for provider", the proof the linter parsed HCL and ran a rule. TFLint also publishes a keyless cosign signature of the checksum file; this role checks the SHA-256.

Live-tested

ansible-forgejo-runner

Forgejo Runner 13.2 from the vendor's release, sha256-checked, in a hardened unit, registered the way Forgejo now asks: a secret registered with forgejo-cli on the Forgejo host and a connection in config.yml. The live test pushes a workflow; its job runs on the runner and finds /home hidden, /tmp private and the system read-only. Original role, live-tested on Rocky Linux 10.

ansible-forgejo

Forgejo from the upstream release as a hardened service on loopback with sqlite and a configuration it never needs to write. The live test creates an administrator with Forgejo's own command, sees a wrong password refused and registration disabled, creates a private repository, hides it from an anonymous request and clones it over HTTP. Original role, live-tested on Rocky Linux 10.

ansible-atmos

atmos on EL 10 from the GitHub release, get_url refuses it unless its SHA-256 is the one in the vendor's SHA256SUMS, and the live test re-checks it, then writes an atmos.yaml, a stack and a component, validates the stacks and describes the component with no Terraform installed. Pinned. Original role, live-tested on Rocky Linux 10.

ansible-checkov

Checkov pinned in /opt/checkov, a virtual environment apart from the system Python. The live test runs pip check, scans a one-resource module with the built-in checks and --skip-download and expects a 'Failed checks:' summary with no network, and asserts the system Python cannot import it. Original role, live-tested on Rocky Linux 10.

ansible-conftest

conftest on EL 10 from the GitHub release, refused by Ansible's get_url unless its SHA-256 is the one in the project's checksums.txt, and re-checked with sha256sum -c by the live test, which then writes a one-rule Rego v1 policy and a one-line document, runs conftest test and expects the denial in the report. Original role, live-tested on Rocky Linux 10.

ansible-consul-cli

consul on EL 10 from releases.hashicorp.com: the client binary, not a server. HashiCorp's key lives in a GnuPG home of its own, pinned by fingerprint; the SHA256SUMS signature is verified before get_url checks the zip against that file, and the live test verifies it again, then runs consul members against nothing and expects the refused connection. Original role, live-tested on Rocky Linux 10.
