"apt install ansible" OR pre-compiled pip OR .deb needed (7X faster install)

[holta]

Currently we install Ansible 2.2.0 as follows which takes ~7 minutes on RPi3:

cd /opt/iiab/iiab/scripts/
./ansible

Let's accelerate our RPi install routine (by 5 min or more, very important for new contributors) using a ready-to-go Ansible like one of these possibly:

1. "apt install ansible" (attractive if there's a flag to specify Ansible 2.2.0!)
2. "wget http://download.iiab.io/packages/<our-precompiled-ansible-2.2.0>" then pip install that?
3. Does .deb exist for Raspbian 2.2.0 of similar, for dpkg ?

Might get some inspiration from #164 but if you are looking to just deploy a tar file, think a virtual environment might be required to be able to scoop the files from one directory. This one looked useful and just over a year old so it's more current than whatever is in play now https://gist.github.com/dpalomar/96b826dac5c2e8b62cbf4c86dbd1c9df

Update for @tim-moody : to lower RPi contributors' very high barriers to entry (constant refrain at Open Source Summit in LA last week: "involve new developers within 1 HOUR MAXIMUM") @jvonau & @georgejhunt have bravely tried to help me find a fast-installing Ansible 2.2.0 for IIAB 6.4 (via apt, pip, .deb, whatever @ #164) but no luck just yet :/

@jvonau surmises that Admin Console jobs are "SCHEDULED" but never actually moving forward due to:

Think the jobs are running... the db is being updated... but can't retrieve the data from the db....

FYI a clean install starting with apt's Ansible 2.2.1 on Raspbian Stretch Lite was attempted using http://download.iiab.io/6.4/rpi/load-min-ansibletest-vpn.txt which at least ran to completion, even though Admin Console did not work. Assisted by @jvonau. Recap:

# apt -y install ansible python-kerberos python-selinux python-winrm (>= 0.1.1) python-xmltodict cowsay sshpass git bzip2 file findutils gzip hg svn sudo tar which unzip xz zip libselinux-python
# ABOVE LINE FAILED DUE TO THESE 6: (>= 0.1.1) hg svn which xz libselinux-python
# SO THE FOLLOWING WAS RUN INSTEAD

apt -y install python-kerberos python-selinux python-winrm python-xmltodict cowsay sshpass git bzip2 file findutils gzip sudo tar unzip zip

apt install ansible

root@raspberrypi:~# ansible --version
ansible 2.2.1.0
  config file = /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg
  configured module search path = Default w/o overrides

FYI near the very end of ./runansible, munin failed with the following error:

TASK [munin : Create admin user] >
fatal: [127.0.0.1]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "failed": true, "msg": "invalid version number '1.7.0.post20170423015547'"}
        to retry, use: --limit @/opt/iiab/iiab/iiab.retry

< PLAY RECAP >
127.0.0.1                  : ok=297  changed=212  unreachable=0    failed=1

So: vars/local_vars.yml was changed to "munin_install: False" and "munin_enabled: False" in order to allow the full bash script (load-min-ansibletest-vpn.txt) to complete...

#181

[holta]

apt correctly now installs Ansible 2.2.1 and has been tested with IIAB's Admin Console, thanks to @jvonau's heroic overnight work.

This is now part of IIAB 6.4 Beta -- full explanation here:
