Tips and Tricks

Loading the ansible SSH key

This is required for many of the tasks below

sudo -i
eval $(ssh-agent -s)
ssh-add ~/.ssh/provisioning

Quicker testing by calling playbooks directly

*Running bootstrap.sh spends a lot of time checking for dependencies, updating repos, etc. To test changes to a role more quickly, load the ansible SSH key as described above, and then...

cd /usr/local/tunapanda/provision/playbooks/
ansible-playbook -i ../scripts/inventory.py main.yml

You can also create a custom playbook and use it instead of main.yml
