DRP: 💣 Disaster Recovery Plan 💥

Personal script to configure an Ubuntu host to work with it.

It uses ansible to install packages and configure the system as I like 👩‍💻

Test the playbook with a virtual machine

Run the test

A Vagrantfile is prepared to test the playbook inside the VM that will be launched:

vagrant up # This will boot the Ubuntu virtual machine and run the playbook

vagrant provision # To rerun the whole playbook

# To rerun some tags:
ansible-playbook playbook.yml -i .vagrant/provisioners/ansible/inventory/vagrant_ansible_inventory -u ansible -e user=vagrant -t user_config

vagrant destroy # To tear down the virtual machine

Execute the playbook versus remote real hosts

Requirements ⚠️

We rely on two users to provision:

• ansible user which will be the one used to provision. We will create it in both control and target node
• The user with which you have installed the Ubuntu OS. In these steps we will refer to it as jdoe

Following steps should be done:

• [Target node] Ubuntu OS is installed. jdoe user has been created as part of the normal installation

• [Target node] The script target_node.sh has run succesfully

• [Control node] The script control_node.sh has run succesfully

Run it

ansible-playbook playbook.yml -i hosts -u ansible -e user=jdoe

Execute the playbook locally

Requirements ⚠️

Following steps should be done:

• [Local node] Ubuntu OS is installed. jdoe user has been created as part of the normal installation
• [Local node] The script local_node.sh has run succesfully

Run it

ansible-playbook --connection=local --inventory 127.0.0.1, playbook.yml -e user=jdoe
