Ansible playbook to install packages directly from the net as well as pushing from the master node.

InstallingSoftwareUsingAnsible

This is how I helped Senior Lab Manager to install packages in all the labs using his main computer. I automated the process of installing packages using ansible playbook on around 150 computers present in my college.
This playbook installs nmap and nginx packages directly from the net and install java from the java rpm file downloaded by the master node by pushing it to the remote machines.

Instructions

1. Configure config file. cat ~/.ansible.cfg
2. Add the remote hosts ips in inventory file using cat ~/inventory
3. check ansible all --list-hosts
4. Edit main.yml according to the main.yml file.
5. Install java. wget --no-check-certificate -c --header "Cookie: oraclelicense=accept-securebackup-cookie" https://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/14.0.2+12/205943a0976c4ed48cb16f1043c5c647/jdk-14.0.2_linux-x64_bin.rpm
6. Run ansible file ansible-playbook -i inventory main.yml
7. ansible web -m ping
8. ansible node-1 -m shell -a 'hostname'
