Vagrant-Ansible

Nothing to see here. This is just my vagrant configuration setup to test my ansible playbooks.

Getting started

You'll need to install:

• Vagrant 1.2.2
• Ansible 1.2+

To test out my ansible playbooks, you'll want to perform the following:

• Create a configuration file named .vagrant-ansible-cfg (example)

  • ROLES_ENABLED - Should point to the project path <project_root>/provisioning/roles.
  • ROLES_AVAILABLE - Should point to the path where your playbooks are installed.

• Run ./enrole.sh <ROLE> to enable a role (defaults to -h with no <ROLE>)

• Create a playbook.yml file in provisioning directory (example)

• Make sure to add the role to the playbook.yml

Once you've enabled a role, run the following:

• vagrant up
• vagrant provision

After you're done testing:

• Run ./disrole.sh <ROLE> to disable a role (defaults to -h with no <ROLE>)

Note:

• Run ./disrole.sh all to disable all roles (defaults to no, may change that option later since it's explicit)

Voila. Happy VM'ing.

Example: Testing out the apt playbook

To test the apt playbook, you'll want to perform the following:

• Ensure you have a configuration file named .vagrant-ansible-cfg
• ./enrole.sh apt
• Add the apt role to your playbook.yml file

Note

• Don't use this structure for a production setup; follow Ansible best practices
• VM is setup on a host only network @ 88.88.88.88
