Quadlet Demo

Mimic the Kubernetes Example: Deploying WordPress and MySQL with Persistent Volumes using Podman, Systemd and Quadlet

Deploy the demo using Ansible

• Start a target machine
  • The demo was tested on a CentOS Stream 9 based EC2 instance
• On your development machine:
  • Install ansible

    sudo dnf install ansible-core
    

  • Clone this repo

    git clone https://github.com/ygalblum/quadlet-demo.git
    

  • Install the required Galaxy collections

    ansible-galaxy collection install -r requirements.yml
    

  • Create the inventory.yml file:

    all:
      hosts:
        < FQDN or IP of the target machine >:
          ansible_connection: ssh
          ansible_user: < Username to connect with >
          ansible_ssh_private_key_file: < Location of the private key >

  • Run the playbook

    ansible-playbook playbook.yml
    

  • Open the machine's URL in a browser, using port 8000 and https:// and you should see the Wordpress setup page.

Deploy using Vagrant and libvirt

This repository contains a Vagrantfile, that can be used to create a new virtual machine and deploy the quadlet-demo using Ansible.

• You need vagrant and vagrant-libvirt.
• Fetch the box, per default this is generic/centos9s, using vagrant box add generic/centos9s.
• Run vagrant up

To reach the container from the machine running vagrant you need to find out the Vagrant VM's IP address, e.g. by using the vagrant address plugin or roaming through the Ansible inventory file in .vagrant/provisioners/ansible/inventory/vagrant_ansible_inventory.
