ansible-config

Ansible is the system that automatically installs the Zeus servers (King, Adams, Dickens, Herbert and Tolkien). See also https://docs.ansible.com.

Setup

1. Install Ansible (brew install ansible on OS X)
2. Clone this repository
3. Run ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml to setup the needed roles
4. Set the server password in ~/.vault-pass.txt
5. Ask current sysadmins to add your SSH key to vars/authorized_keys.yml

Deploy

You can run ansible-playbook site.yml to deploy a whole playbook. This will probably be pretty slow when developing, so you can also run ansible-playbook site.yml --tags db for example to only deploy the tasks tagged with db.

The passwords are saved in vars/herbert_secrets.yml. These files can be edited by issuing the command ansible-vault edit vars/herbert_secrets.yml.
