The process is - quite similar to ansible-playbook, the only difference is that the source for - the playbook will be a remote repository and not a local file. Following the - previous example we'll get vim setup automated. - </p> - <p> - Create a git repository wherever you see - fit, <a href="https://about.gitlab.com/">gitlab</a> - and <a href="https://github.com/">github</a> offer free repositories. For - this task we need to add only two file: one for the yml file describing the - tasks and the .vimrc file. - </p> - <p> - In the .vimrc add your own configuration, you can see - mine - <a href="https://gitlab.com/gabrielgio/homestation/-/blob/debcf3458df511aef9f7dca0cb73f6cf6baddd5d/.vimrc"> - over here - </a>, it is pretty simple as I don't use it but for simple text editing - (like this post) so you can start with that if you don't have one. - </p> - <p> - The yml file will have two tasks, one is to install vim, just like we did in the part 1. -<pre><code># main.yml ---- -- name: install vim - dnf: - name: vim - state: latest</code></pre> - </p> - <p> - To copy .vimrc file to your $HOME we going to - use <a href="https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/copy_module.html">copy - module</a>: - </p> - <p> - After we've added those two files to repository you will have be something - <a href="https://gitlab.com/gabrielgio/homestation/-/tree/debcf3458df511aef9f7dca0cb73f6cf6baddd5d"> - like this. - </a> - <br/> - Parms: - <ul> - <li><strong>-i</strong> is a list of hosts</li> - <li><strong>-U</strong> is the get repository url</li> - </ul> - </p> - <p> - Remember man is your best friend, take a look at <code>man ansible-pull</code> to know - more about its parameters. - </p> - <p> - The best part you can quickly test and see the result by running my sample: -<pre><code>ansible-pull \ - -U https://gitlab.com/gabrielgio/homestation.git \ - -C debcf3458df511aef9f7dca0cb73f6cf6baddd5d \ - -i all \ - main.yml</code></pre> - </p> - <p> - The idea here is to keep your repository as a source of truth when comes to - configuration, you can add ansible-pull to a CRON tab, so you just need to - push something to your repository and after a few minutes not only your - machine but all the machines that have it setup will run the playbooks. You - can use this method as a simple way to install software, update machines or - even distribute tooling company-wise. - </p> -</section> |
