Ansible playbooks

This page describes the Ansible playbooks for the project.

Example

The following is an example of how to execute all playbooks in the project. If we want to run a single playbook instead, we would need to update the name of the playbook (the 2^nd argument to ansible-playbook).

First, from the host machine, connected to the ROV network, create the captain VM:

vagrant up captain

(The captain VM is the machine used to manage other machines on the network.)

With that VM created, we now need to edit the host inventory (playbook/hosts) to contain the IP addresses, usernames, and passwords for all machines on the ROV.

If needed, you can map the network using the following command:

nmap -sn 192.168.88.1/24

Now, from inside the captain VM, we can execute ansible-playbook, passing the name of the playbook we want to execute:

# Inside the captain VM
cd workspace
ansible-playbook playbooks/all.yml

Aside: when inside Vagrant's default hostonly network, you can pass an alternative proxy dictionary to ansible-playbook like so:

ansible-playbook playbooks/all.yml -e '{ "proxy": { "http_proxy": "http://172.28.128.3:3128", "https_proxy": "http://172.28.128.3:3128" } }'
