This repository contains the Ansible configuration files for managing the servers for the Crypto 101 project.
I (lvh) am not a professional system administrator, and I am very new to ansible. All help would be highly appreciated!
All configuration is in the local directory for now. That's in
.gitignore to prevent you from accidentally adding some secret
data.
This repo uses an inventory directory, inventory/. It contains
configuration for localhost as well as a rax.py plugin. For
Rackspace-specific configuration used by rax.py, see below. You
can get that plugin from Ansible's dev tree here:
https://raw2.github.com/ansible/ansible/devel/plugins/inventory/rax.py
Apparently copying that file into your inventory directory is really how you do it.
Crypto 101 is a Rackspace shop. We use a dynamic inventory for
Ansible, provided by pyrax. You will need to put a pyrax credentials
file in ./local/pyrax-credentials that looks somewhat like:
[rackspace_cloud] username = crypto101 api_key = deadbeef
