vagrant-rhel8-ansible

A Vagrant RHEL8 machine with ansible package + some basic utilities

The goal is to create a clean environnement for Ansible playbooks development.

Vagrant machine content

• Latest Ansible.
• Latest Git.

Prerequisites

• A Red Hat valid subscription for RHEL8. You have to generate an activation key on your Red Hat Subscription Management portal
• A SSH-key pair. Public key must be set on your Git based solution account (GitLab, GitHub, etc).

Installation

1. Clone this repository on your laptop.
2. Fill the variables in settings.rb. All variables are examples here. You have to set the correct values.

    # Red Hat Subscription Management
    RHSM_ORG="12345678"               # Organization ID.
    RHSM_ACTIVATION_KEY="my-key"      # action key name
    
    # Ansible Vault. Please choose a password here to enable sensitive data encryption when running Ansible
    ANSIBLE_VAULT_PASSWORD="aP@ssW0rdf0r8nsib1e"
   
    # Path to your SSH private key on your laptop for GitLab access
    SSH_PRIVATE_KEY_PATH="~/.ssh/id_rsa"
   

   Review the complete file before continuing.
3. Run vagrant

   vagrant up
   

4. Once the VM is up you can open a SSH connection

   vagrant ssh
   

   You are logged now as vagrant user with ansible and git installed.
