ARA testing

This is a simple ARA docker compose infrastructure for testing a standalone ansible-ara docker container.

Setup

this is a 3 container compose:

• ara-web is the contributer web frontend
• ara-api is the Django server and API endpoint.
• ansible-ara is the actual container I want to build.

Usage

The following will build all 3 images as :latest. You can optionaly rebuild any image by using the service name from the docker-compose file.

docker-compose build [ara-web|ara-api|ansible-ara]

To run :

docker-compose up

This will start the API container and the frontend ara-web - properly configured to talk to each other.

The ansible-ara container will start up and run an ansible playbook ( see [env] ) and exit. The following will happen:

• Docker compose will map the env directory to /tmp/workdir
• The API end point is set (based on Docker Compose networking)
• The wrapper script start setting the ara environment files
• ansible galaxy will pul down ansible dependencies (requirements.yml)
• The ansible playbook (playbook.yml) is run against the inventory (inventory.ini)

The current env is really just a simple test that runs against itself with a local connection ( no ssh ). The playbook does a simple ping.

You can keep running it by issuing the :

docker-compose run ansible-ara

Running outside of docker compose.

The ansible-ara container can also be run standalone as folows:

docker run -it --rm -v $(pwd):/tmp/workbook -w /tmp/workbook ansible-ara

But currently it is still development - so it is better to run :

docker run -it --rm -v $(pwd):/tmp/workbook -w /tmp/workbook ansible-ara /bin/bash

as an Ansible shell and run the commands manully until all is set.
