About why and how with Ansible

Why did you choose? It's because it does Linux server and configuration management, for humans very well. And how did you? I learned by reading and using it daily. If you wanna understand Ansible yourselfs? I have purchased Ansible for DevOps, by Jeff Geerling. Please checkout the website, for more details ... https://www.ansiblefordevops.com/

Compatibility

This configuration has been tested with the following hardware and OS combinations:

• HP ProBook 6560b and Ubuntu 18.04 (64-bit), used docker-compose_1.21.0-3_all.deb
• HP ProLiant DL2000 Node Rack Server module and Debian Bullseye (64-bit)

I am open for cloud instances to test, when they become available. I used the Ansible anstomlog callback plugin for a clear output. Check ansible.cfg includded for details. Oo, and i encrypted my own secrets.yml details, just to be sure.

Usage

First, before you start running, you need to make adjustments to, where needed ...

• playbooks/tinkerbell/inventory.ini
• playbooks/tinkerbell/group_vars/all/apt.yml
• playbooks/tinkerbell/group_vars/provisioner/tinkerbell.yml

And know for sure, the use of '{{ ansible_default_ipv4.interface }}' works for you.

$ cd playbooks/tinkerbell/
$ ./edit-local-secrets.sh
$ ./runner.sh

Notes

Important: Downloading osie latest.tar.gz takes some time.

There are Tinkerbell workflow's writen for Debian and Ubuntu. All these workflow actions run as --privileged Docker containers.
