Getting Started

Requirements

• Install Ansible Navigator
• Optional mkdir -p /home/${USER}/.run/container

Git Clone Repo

git clone https://github.com/tosin2013/openshift-virt-ansible-automation.git

cd $HOME/openshift-virt-ansible-automation/

Configure SSH

IP_ADDRESS=$(hostname -I | awk '{print $1}') # confirm it is the ip address of the control node
ssh-keygen -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa -t rsa -N ''
ssh-copy-id $USER@${IP_ADDRESS}

Create Ansible navigator config file

# export INVENTORY=dev
# cp -avi inventories/sample/* inventories/${INVENTORY}
# cat >~/.ansible-navigator.yml<<EOF
---
ansible-navigator:
  ansible:
    inventory:
      entries:
      - /home/$USER/openshift-virt-ansible-automation/inventories/${INVENTORY}
  execution-environment:
    container-engine: podman
    enabled: true
    environment-variables:
      pass:
      - USER
    image:  localhost/openshift-virt-ansible-automation:0.1.0
    pull:
      policy: missing
  logging:
    append: true
    file: /home/$USER/openshift-virt-ansible-automation/ansible-navigator.log
    level: debug
  playbook-artifact:
    enable: false
EOF

Add hosts file

# control_user=${USER}
# control_host=$(hostname -I | awk '{print $1}') # confirm it is the ip address of the control node
echo "[control]" > inventories/${INVENTORY}/hosts
echo "control ansible_host=${control_host} ansible_user=${control_user}  ansible_python_interpreter=/usr/bin/python3" >> inventories/${INVENTORY}/hosts
# cat inventories/${INVENTORY}/hosts

Create Requirement file for ansible builder
Red Hat KVM Role redhat.openshift_virtualization:

cat >ansible-builder/requirements.yml<<EOF
---
collections:
  - ansible.posix
  - containers.podman
  - kubernetes.core
  - kubevirt.core # change to redhat.openshift_virtualization is using Ansible Automation Hub
  - name: tosin2013.openshift_virt_ansible
    type: git
    source: https://github.com/tosin2013/openshift_virt_ansible.git
    version: main
roles: 
  - linux-system-roles.network
  - linux-system-roles.firewall
  - linux-system-roles.cockpit
EOF

Build the image:

make build-image

Configure Ansible Vault

curl -OL https://gist.githubusercontent.com/tosin2013/022841d90216df8617244ab6d6aceaf8/raw/92400b9e459351d204feb67b985c08df6477d7fa/ansible_vault_setup.sh
chmod +x ansible_vault_setup.sh
./ansible_vault_setup.sh

List inventory

ansible-navigator inventory --list --inventory=inventories/dev -m stdout --vault-password-file $HOME/.vault_password

Install OpenShift CLI

curl -OL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tosin2013/openshift-4-deployment-notes/master/pre-steps/configure-openshift-packages.sh
chmod +x configure-openshift-packages.sh
./configure-openshift-packages.sh -i

Deploy Openshift Virtualization

$ ssh-agent bash
$ ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa
$ oc login --token=sha256~token --server=https://api.lab.example.com:6443
$ ansible-navigator run --inventory=inventories/dev ansible-navigator/setup_openshift_virt.yml \
 --vault-password-file $HOME/.vault_password -m stdout 

When developing a new collection, you can use the following command to build the collection and install it in the execution environment:

make build-image

When you are done developing, you can remove the images and bad builds with the following commands:

make remove-bad-builds
make remove-images
