playbook-skeleton's Introduction

Skeleton

A script that builds out the directory structure and commonalities of our ansible playbooks.

Dependencies

bundle install

ruby skeleton.rb {project_name} {required_system} {required_system} ...

ruby playbook_skeleton {project_name} {required_system} {required_system}
Creates the main directory title 'playbook-{project_name}'
- Populates main directory with 'playbook.yml', 'dependencies.yml' and 'vault.yml'
Creates a sub directory titled 'hosts'
- Populates directory with four files 'next, development, staging, production'
Creates the sub directories titled {required_system}
- Populates each {required system} directory with 'playbook.yml' and 'dependencies.yml'

All files are created blank, but will be updated (in the next iteration) to suite current ansible requirements for baser functionality.

Commandline functionality detailed above still persists and can be invoked by targetting 'skeleton.rb' with the appropriate options.
Newly added, is 'bone_marrow.rb' (working title), which allows you to populate the inards of the playbook file structure.
- At present these inards are static and must be modified in marrow.rb to work.
Next version bump will include the 'required_system' (ex application, management) functionality. At present only the common level exists. As well as correctly generate the host files for next/dev/stage/prod. Eventually bone_marrow will run with a command line interface similar to the first iteration and later with a checklist UI populated with TD ansible roles.

Commandline functionality has been merged with directory creation. Renamed bone_marrow to skeleton for consistency.
Current incarnation will with commandline create all necessary directorys and files and populate them with all common information.
Role population will be implemented pending 'ansible-selfserve' being successfully ported and tested.
- At present must be written manually.
