Ansible development environment

Setup a machine to write Ansible roles. Includes:

Download

In some directory, maybe Documents run:

git clone https://github.com/robertdebock/ansible-development-environment
cd ansible-development-environment

Setup

Download all required roles:

ansible-galaxy install --role-file roles/requirements.yml

Mac / Linux

Vagrant requires a different file for Virtualbox (typically Mac OS X) and libvirt (typically Linux).

For Virtualbox / Mac OS X:

rm Vagrantfile
ln -s Vagrantfile.virtualbox Vagrantfile

For libvirt / Linux:

rm Vagrantfile
ln -s Vagrantfile.libvirt Vagrantfile

Now change a few files:

files/gitconfig should contain your details.
files/id_rsa should contain an ssh-key used to commit to GitHub.
inventory/hosts should contain your machine.
inventory/group_vars/all.yml should contain your details.

Install

Simply run ./playbook.yml. Preparing your system will take about 15 minutes or so.

Code

You are now ready to code! Have fun using these commands:

# See if your code meets all rules.
ansible-lint .
# Test all scenarios.
molecule test
# Test a specific scenario.
molecule test --scenario-name fedora-latest

You can see the playbook runs on https://localhost:9191/
