Ansible Playbook for Ubuntu Desktop

Ansible Playbook for Ubuntu Desktop Installation.

Requirements

This playbook require Ansible 2.0 or higher.

This playbook was designed for Ubuntu Desktop 19.10.

Quick Start

All-in-one (AIO) builds are a great way to perform an Ubuntu build for

• A development environment
• An overview of how all of the Ubuntu services fit together
• A simple lab deployment

Although AIO builds aren’t recommended for large production deployments, they’re great for smaller proof-of-concept deployments.

AIO with Customization

There are four main steps for running a customized AIO build:

• Install Ansible
• Initial roles, vars and hosts bootstrap
• Configuration (this step is optional)
• Run playbooks

Start by cloning the ansible-playbook-ubuntu-desktop repository and changing into the repository root directory:

$ git clone https://github.com/pantarei/ansible-playbook-ubuntu-desktop \
    /opt/ansible-playbook-ubuntu-desktop
$ cd /opt/ansible-playbook-ubuntu-desktop

Next bootstrap Ansible by executing:

$ scripts/bootstrap-ansible.sh

Now we can bootstrap Ansible's roles, vars and hosts by executing:

$ scripts/bootstrap-aio.sh

By default the scripts deploy only general Ubuntu setup. At this point you may optionally adjuct which services are deployed within your AIO build. Look at the group_vars/all and inventory/localhost for more details. For example, if you'd like to upgrade your Ubuntu set the apt_upgrade as full at group_vars/all:

apt_upgrade: full

Finally, run the plabooks by executing:

$ scripts/run-playbooks.sh

Dependencies

No additional dependency.
