role host-config depends on rke a and rke depends on HTTP proxy #4 which belongs to host-config. To break this circle dependency we need to separate CZERTAINLY instalation from host-config.

developer needs switch from HTTP to SSH access method
developer needs add his SSH key to running appliance
check settings of ssh daemon if permits GIT_ env varibles

it is possible to use dynamic variables within ansible_managed see: https://jpmens.net/2020/09/29/using-ansible-managed/

I think that static string defined in ansible.cfg like tihs https://github.com/CESNET/perun-ansible/blob/master/ansible.cfg#L20 shuld be enought.

CZUK have network where HTTP proxy is mandatory
local proxy on developers network should speedup testing by reducing download times

when proxy hash variable isn't defined playbook fails with error:

TASK [Gathering Facts] *************************************************************************
fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"msg": "The field 'environment' has an invalid value, which includes an undefined variable. The error was: {'http_proxy': \"{{ proxy.http | default('') }}\", 'HTTP_PROXY': \"{{ proxy.http | default('') }}\", 'HTTPS_PROXY': \"{{ proxy.https | default('') }}\", 'FTP_PROXY': \"{{ proxy.ftp | default('') }}\", 'FTPS_PROXY': \"{{ proxy.ftps | default('') }}\", 'NO_PROXY': \"{{ proxy.dont_use_for | join(',') | default ('') }}\"}: 'proxy' is undefined"}

I'm port of our appliance was tested in VMWare Workstatin 17 is just fine, same for VMWare Player. ovftool is also OK with our OVA.

vSphere Client still fails!

Item on path VirtualHardwareSection/Item/Parent was removed from OVF to be able to import OVA with VMWare Sphere Client. But after that change VirtualBox 7 refuses import section with error:

Error reading "/home/semik/Downloads/czertainly-appliance-2.7.1.rc4.230530.115019.ova": Disk item with instance ID "4" specifies invalid parent "", line 54.

So we have to keep that item and fix referenced controller. Example of "fixed" controller and disk based on experiment on VMWare Workstatin 18:

<Item>
	<rasd:Address>0</rasd:Address>
	<rasd:Description>SATA Controller</rasd:Description>
	<rasd:ElementName>sataController0</rasd:ElementName>
	<rasd:InstanceID>3</rasd:InstanceID>
	<rasd:ResourceSubType>vmware.sata.ahci</rasd:ResourceSubType>
	<rasd:ResourceType>20</rasd:ResourceType>
	<vmw:CoresPerSocket ovf:required="false">1</vmw:CoresPerSocket>
 </Item>

 <Item>
	<rasd:AddressOnParent>0</rasd:AddressOnParent>
	<rasd:Caption>disk1</rasd:Caption>
	<rasd:Description>Disk Image</rasd:Description>
	<rasd:ElementName>disk1</rasd:ElementName>
	<rasd:HostResource>/disk/vmdisk1</rasd:HostResource>
	<rasd:InstanceID>4</rasd:InstanceID>
	<rasd:Parent>3</rasd:Parent>
	<rasd:ResourceType>17</rasd:ResourceType>
 </Item>

Original controller:

<Item>
        <rasd:Address>0</rasd:Address>
        <rasd:Caption>sataController0</rasd:Caption>
        <rasd:Description>SATA Controller</rasd:Description>
        <rasd:ElementName>sataController0</rasd:ElementName>
        <rasd:InstanceID>3</rasd:InstanceID>
        <rasd:ResourceSubType>AHCI</rasd:ResourceSubType>
        <rasd:ResourceType>20</rasd:ResourceType>
</Item>
