Ansible role to configure a linux workstation for cloud- and infrastructure-automation development. Currently only supporting (x)ubuntu
You need ansible to be installed on your machine:
# sudo apt-get install -y ansible
set in defaults/main.yml:
install_atom_packages: false
if you want atom-packages to be installed, you have to overwrite this variable to be "true"
You also have to set variables for:
git_username:
git_mailaddress:
to be set in .gitconfig-file
You have to ensure that you execute ansible with the user you want to work later on as it will place config-files in the users home directory.
Be sure that the user is in sudoers group to be able to install packages.
call this role with a site.yml looking like:
- import_playbook: linux_workstation_configs.yml
and linux_workstation_configs.yml with content (in this case we connect with a user and then use sudo):
- hosts: foo
vars:
git_mailaddress: <MAILADDRESS>
git_username: <GIT_USERNAME>
remote_user: <USER>
roles:
- linux_workstation_configs
using inventory file hosts.yml like:
foo:
hosts:
<IP>:
and this role in roles-directory, just by typing:
# ansible-playbook -i hosts linux_workstation_configs.yml --key-file "<private-ssh-key>"
# ansible-playbook --connection=local --inventory 127.0.0.1, <PLAYBOOK>
Do not use remote_user variable in playbook in this case.
