    Standalone script that can be downloaded and run to configure a server to be managed by ansible

Setting up a server to be managed by ansible

Definitions

controller := the computer running the ansible-playbook command

controllee := the computer that ansible manages

Procedure

This assumes you are setting up a Ubuntu 13.10 x64 to be managed by ansible.

  • Controller: Create a public/private key pair and copy it from the controller to the controllee's /root directory

      ssh-keygen -f ~/.ssh/ansible
  scp ~/.ssh/ansible.pub root@$MYSERVER:/root/

  • Controllee: As root, download and run RUNME.sh

      wget --no-check-certificate https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jdeveloperw/ansible-bootstrap/master/RUNME.sh
  sh RUNME.sh

    NOTE: This will disable password-based on authentication on the controllee, requiring you to login to the controllee as ansible@$MYSERVER using the ~/.ssh/ansible private key. If you want to re-enable password-based authentication, edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config, replacing

      PasswordAuthentication no

    with

      PasswordAuthentication yes

  • Controller: ssh to the controllee as ansible

       ssh ansible@$MYSERVER -i ~/.ssh/ansible
