General setup

    apt-get install ansible sshpass pandoc
    echo <vaultpw> > .vault-password

Ansible >=2.0 is required!

Generate Documentaion

To ease the generation of the documentation files inside the doc folder you could use on of the commands below:

    make

or

    make pdf

If you won't to do that all the time use conttest.

    pip install conttest
    conttest make

That will generate the pdf all the time if something is changes inside the docs folder.

Run Ansible

Run Ansible via

    ansible-playbook -i inventory site.yml --vault-password-file=.vault-password -u <user> -s -K [-k]

or do a

    ssh-copy-id root@<hostip>
    ansible-playbook -i inventory site.yml --vault-password-file=.vault-password -u <user> -s -K

alternative you could use the commands 'make [ansible_with_password]' instead of the commands above.

The length of the commands above depends to your ~/.ssh/config

    Host fileserver fapra_1599
    HostName <hostip>
    User root

and your local ~/.ansible.cfg

    [ssh_connection]
    ssh_args = -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no

Run Ansible restricted to a tag

    ansible-playbook -i inventory site.yml --vault-password-file=.vault-password -u <user> -s -K -t <tag> [-k]

A list of all available tags could be found inside the file cat ansible/file_server.yml. If you use a '-t ssh' only the related ssh configuraton set inside the role k1599_ssh will be used.

Generate a new password for the vault file

    mkpasswd --method=des

Edit vault files

    ansible-vault --vault-password-file=.vault-password edit group_vars/fileserver/vault
