#Ansible Playground #

This is a simple utility repository to bootstrap Ansible playground. It uses VirtualBox and Vagrant to provision:

• 1 VM to be Master Orchestrator (available at 192.168.100.100)
• n VMs (2 by default) to be DevOps Servers (available at 192.168.100.10[1-9])

###Installation###

• Install the latest version of VirtualBox and VirtualBox extension
• Install Vagrant
• Clone this repository:

$ git clone [email protected]:sureshn/ansible-playground.git
$ cd ansible-playground

• Start VMs (it will create 3 VMs and provision Ansible). There will also be a hosts file which will be created at /etc/ansible/hosts) which defines a new group named dev which contains the DevOps servers.
• Create and provision all VM's:

$ vagrant up && vagrant provision

Once the VM's are up and running, install tmuxinator and run mux. This will connect to the provisioned 3 Vagrant VM's.

In order for the Master Orchestrator to Communicate with the DevOps Servers, generate a new SSH key in the master shell using ssh-keygen and copy the new key to the DevOps machines:

vagrant@master:~$ ssh-keygen
...
vagrant@master:~$ ssh-copy-id [email protected]
...
vagrant@master:~$ ssh-copy-id [email protected]
...

The password for the vagrant user on all machines is vagrant.

###Usage###

vagrant@master:~$ ansible dev -a "uptime"
