# ansible-ubuntu

Automate inital server setup using Ansible.

# How it Works

The general idea is that given a newly-created server and you would like to automate its initial setup, you would just run this script, instead of running most of the setup commands manually.

# Current Functionality

Currently, this is able to automate the following:

- Upgrading the distro

- Creates a regular user

- Install a few useful packages

# Setup

First, Ansible needs to be installed locally, preferrably in a virtualenv. Let's do that

- Create a new virtual environment.

`mkvirtualenv ansible`

- Activate the virtualenv

`workon ansible`

- Install the requirements

`pip install -r requirements.txt`

# Usage Instructions

- Clone this repo

`git clone [email protected]:kevgathuku/ansible-ubuntu.git`

- Change directory into the newly-created folder

`cd ansible-ubuntu`

- Copy the `hosts.example` file to `hosts`

`cp hosts.example hosts`

- Open the `hosts` file and replace `127.0.0.1` with your actual server address(es)

You can fill in one or more server addresses here, each in a new line.

For example, a sample `hosts` file would look like this

```

[main]

127.0.0.1

127.0.0.2

```

When you've done this, let's finally get this running

```shell

ansible-playbook -i hosts playbook.yml

```

If using `pipenv` run:

```shell

pipenv run ansible-playbook -i hosts playbook.yml

```
