• Setup your VM configurations in their host_vars or in broader group_vars, available parameters are:

  • users, a map that defines the initial users, of the form:

    users:
      user1:
        ssh_keys:
          - "ssh-rsa AAA[...]"
      .
      .
      .
    

• Setup ports redirection and VM storage (see group_vars/all for an example)

Setup of development environment

The development environnement use Vagrant.

Cloud configuration

1. Initialisation of the host (only Ubuntu server 16.04 certified)
   Make sure you access the host with a user with sudo rights (see init-ansible-debian.sh for an example setup with the ansible user)
   Configure this user in ansible.cfg and run:

ansible-playbook -i inventories/dev.yml host_install.yml

2. Creation of a VM

ansible-playbook -i inventories/dev.yml vm_create.yml -l <your VM>

3. Setup of a VM

ansible-playbook -i inventories/dev.yml vm_install.yml -l <your VM>

4. Update of VM exposed ports

ansible-playbook -i inventories/dev.yml vm_refresh_exposed_ports.yml -l <your VM>

5. VM destroying

ansible-playbook -i inventories/dev.yml vm_erase.yml -l <your VM>

To completely erase VM and associated data use the vm_erase_data_disk option :

ansible-playbook -i inventories/dev.yml vm_erase.yml -e vm_erase_data_disk=true -l <your VM>
