How to setup Ansible control note - uyuni-project/uyuni GitHub Wiki

This guide describe how to setup an Ansible control node in a SLE15SP1 system.

• Deploy a SLE15SP1 instance for the Ansible control node
• Add this repo to the system: https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/systemsmanagement/SLE_15_SP1/
• Refresh Zypper and install ansible package on this instance.

• Create your inventory adding your hosts to be managed by Ansible. Default path for the Ansible inventory is /etc/ansible/hosts. This is an example:

my-ansible-managed-client-1.tf.local
my-ansible-managed-client-2.tf.local
my-ansible-managed-client-3.tf.local
my-ansible-managed-client-4.tf.local ansible_ssh_private_key_file=/etc/ansible/some_ssh_key

[mygroup1]
my-ansible-managed-client-1.tf.local
my-ansible-managed-client-2.tf.local

[mygroup2]
my-ansible-managed-client-3.tf.local

[all:vars]
ansible_ssh_private_key_file=/etc/ansible/my_ansible_private_key

• Create the SSH keys that you're using in your inventory. Example:

# ssh-keygen -f /etc/ansible/my_ansible_private_key

• Copy the generated SSH keys to the Ansible managed clients. Example:

# ssh-copy-id -i /etc/ansible/my_ansible_private_key [email protected]

• Some examples:

# ansible all -m ping
# ansible mygroup1 -m ping
# ansible my-ansible-managed-client-1.tf.local -m ping

(already integrated in Salt)

There are a bunch of playbooks examples at https://github.com/ansible/ansible-examples

1. Install git-core and clone the above repo in your Ansible control node.
