mac-workstation.provisioning

How to run

1st, you should get up the provisioning service via docker-compose and hold the terminal for the service. Or, you are able to use the option -d or --detach with that up.

docker-compose up

Now, in another terminal, you are able to access the provisioning container via docker-compose exec command.

docker-compose exec provisioning zsh -l

Next, I recommend exporting several environment variables to access your new Mac from the provisioning service easily.

export TARGET_HOSTNAME=YOUR_VALUE
export TARGET_OS_USER=YOUR_VALUE

You are able to resolve the FQDN as has suffix .local via the dig @224.0.0.251 -p 5353 command if you are using an OS that is enabled mDNS services, such as Bonjour, or Avahi. In this case, the DNS server 224.0.0.251 is a unique fixed IP address for mDNS and the correct IP address in all environments.

docker-compose exec provisioning ansible -m raw -a hostname -i $(dig +short @224.0.0.251 -p 5353 ${TARGET_HOSTNAME}.local), -u ${TARGET_OS_USER} all

docker-compose exec provisioning ansible -m gather_facts -i $(dig +short @224.0.0.251 -p 5353 ${TARGET_HOSTNAME}.local), -u ${TARGET_OS_USER} all
docker-compose exec provisioning ansible -m gather_facts -a "filter=ansible_machine" -i $(dig +short @224.0.0.251 -p 5353 ${TARGET_HOSTNAME}.local), -u ${TARGET_OS_USER} all
docker-compose exec provisioning ansible -m gather_facts -a "filter=ansible_default_ipv4.address" -i $(dig +short @224.0.0.251 -p 5353 ${TARGET_HOSTNAME}.local), -u ${TARGET_OS_USER} all
