Automation

A few simple ansible roles I use on my home network and VPS's.

Getting Started

• Clone this repo: git clone https://github.com/binarypenguin/automation.git
• Create an inventory if you desire. Each inventory (hosts) can be a sub directory of inventories. Localhost already exists if you just want to run against your local machine. (See Ansible Inventory)
• Have a look at playbook.yml for groups that are available and the roles that are applied to them
• It's recommended to run Ansible from in a virtualenv.
  • cd automation
  • virtualenv venv
  • source venv/bin/activate
  • pip install -r requirements.txt
  • Now you have ansible ready for use, just run: ansible-playbook playbook.yml -i inventories/localhost
  • When you are done, you can exit the virutalenv: deactivate
