This collection provides production-ready Ansible roles used for providing services used in research and by research

software engineers, but not exclusively. The following use cases are supported:

* **DevOps platform:**

    * [GitLab](roles/gitlab)

    * deploy [GitLab-Runner](roles/gitlab_runner) with a focus, but not limited, on Openstack autoscaling

    * [Redis](roles/redis)

* **Help desk:**

    * [Zammad](roles/zammad)

* **High Availability (HA) / Load Balancing:**

    * [HAProxy](roles/haproxy)

    * [Keepalived](roles/keepalived)

* **OS-related:**

    * [unattended-upgrades](roles/unattended_upgrades)

    * [netplan](roles/netplan)

    * distribute authorized [SSH keys](roles/ssh_keys) to users

## Looking for the unattended_upgrades role?

You can now find it under [roles/unattended_upgrades](roles/unattended_upgrades).

We moved our existing Ansible roles into a single collection to deduplicate code and have a common test suite for all roles.

We decided to reuse the unattended_upgrades repository as a collection repo as it is our most popular role.

## Minimum required Ansible-version

* Ansible >= 2.17

## Installation

Install the collection via ansible-galaxy:

```shell

ansible-galaxy collection install hifis.toolkit

```
