Demo Configuration For N3XTware Ansible Based Configuration and Deployment (ABCD)

A tutorial for the N3XTware SDAT can be found in docs/tutorial-mvp-1.md.

Configuration is currently accomplished on a per-host basis. The files herein are a substitute to the host_vars directories in Ansible. The directories are named after the hosts that they are intended for, with YAML configuration according to the ioc-deploy-roles n3xtware branch.

IOC Configuration Conventions

When deploying the IOCs for a host, the ansible role DeployIOC will iterate over the iocs list in the ioc.yml file in the host configuration directory. Each IOC in the list should have a corresponsing configuration file in the directory with a dictionary with a single key of the IOC name (e.g., xspress3.yml should have a single dictionary with the key xspress3). The value of that key should be a dictionary with keys specific to the IOC; for more information consult the ioc-deploy-roles n3xtware branch.

The host.yml file should contain the following keys, with examples below:

    beamline: TLA
    hostname: DIRNAME
    softioc_user: softioc-TLA
    softioc_group: n2sn-instadmin

These variables will be loaded in place of host_vars in the DeployIOC role (e.g., through a combination of git clone and ansible.builtin.include_vars).
