VM setup

This repo uses ansible to make the git setup (and potential further service deployments) comprehensible for future maintenance.

It is a basic ansible repo with to main roles:

  • libvirt for vm creation

Other services could be added as further roles.

The playbooks

Ansible uses playbooks, to configure the hardware as wished. The roles should be indempotent and could be run arbitraryly often.

The libvirt setup

The role installs libvirt on the vmhost and uses virt-install and debian cloud images to create the vms.

Run it with

ansible-playbook -D create-vm.yml

It asks the user a few questions and create a new entry for the new vm in this repository. Please push it to master afterwards.

Vaults

Sensible information is encrypted and stored inside a so called vault. One example is roles/git/vars/vault It is decrypted on the fly, when using a playbook. To be able to decrypt the vault, you need a password file called vault_pass which has to be copied manually into the repo. It is explicitly excluded from git. Ask Carl for vault_pass.

Use ansible-vault to mess around with the vault files manually.
