Ubuntu >= 22.04 Keyserver Repositories using Ansible

Ubuntu 22.04 and greater has deprecated the use of apt-key to install GPG keys to your system.

I'm big on provisioning my systems using Ansible, and while I found lots of documentation about how to use the get_url module instead of the apt_key I could not find any documentation on using Ansible to provision systems that utilize Canonical's keyserver.ubuntu.com GPG key repository.

Here's an example playbook of how I accomplished it

---
- hosts: myserver
  tasks:
    - name: install gpg
      ansible.builtin.apt:
        name: gpg
    - name: download GPG keyring
      ansible.builtin.apt_key:
        keyserver: keyserver.ubuntu.com
        id: some-ubuntu-keyserver-id
        keyring: /etc/apt/keyrings/mysoftware.gpg
    - name: configure apt repository
      ansible.builtin.apt_repository:
        filename: mysoftware
        repo: deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/mysoftware.gpg] https://mysoftware.com/ubuntu jammy main
