This repository is to be used for playing with and creating Ansible Playbooks.

Vagrant is used on the localhost, but is wrapped in a bash script abstraction layer to automatically create the inventory files and modify the ansible.cfg as necessary.

• ./initlocal.sh
  • Create the Vagrant Machines requested
  • Provision the Machine with the default playbook ./ansible/playbooks/initServer.yml
  • Create an inventory file ./ansible/inventories/vagrant/hosts

The vagrantfile requires unique and count to be passed as environment variables.

$ ./initlocal.sh vm 2
$ unique=vm count=2 vagrant ssh vm2

The init scripts automatically create the necessary ansible.cfg and inventory files. Test the connectivity to the servers that were created.

ansible all -m ping

$ ansible-playbook ansible/<playbookname>.yml

Playbook swarmCluster installs docker and can configure servers into a swarm.

To configure a swarm you must modify the inventory file and tag the servers as manager or worker.

[manager]
vm1
vm2
vm3

[worker]
vm4
vm5
vm6

NOTE: To configure a swarm on vagrant you must set the swarm interface variable to enp0s3 in vagrant/group_vars. swarm_iface: 'enp0s8'

$ vagrant ssh

$ vagrant destroy

Init Script will create a simple Azure Virtual Machine with up to date patches and ready for ansible commands.

$ ansible-playbook -i ${INVENTORY_FILE} ansible/<playbookname>.yml
