NYCRecords Common

Setup the base requirements for a NYC Department of Records RHEL Server

Requirements

Any pre-requisites that may not be covered by Ansible itself or the role should be mentioned here. For instance, if the role uses the EC2 module, it may be a good idea to mention in this section that the boto package is required.

Role Variables

volumes:
  - device: /dev/<device_name>
    fstype: <Filesystem type (e.g. xfs)>
    path: <Mount Point>
    src: "UUID=<UUID for Volume"

Volumes is a list of dictionaries for formatting and mounting new volumes.

setup_mount_points: true

Determines whether volumes and mount points should be setup using this role. Defaults to True.

reformat_volumes: false

Determines whether this role should reformat all volumes when mounting as part of this role. Defaults to False.

setup_proxy: true

Determines whether the role should setup the HTTP/HTTPS/FTP/NO_PROXY variables globally. Defaults to True.

setup_https: true

Determines whether this role should create a CSR and self-signed cert for the server. CSR will be copied to the Ansible Control Node. Defaults to True.

ssh_users:
  - system_user: vagrant
    github_users:
      - joelbcastillo

Adds github user ssh keys to authorized keys for the system user. Can specify multiple system users and Github user combinations.

server_admin_email: [email protected]

The user for the CSR and Certificate created for HTTPS setup.

pip_get_pip_version: latest
pip_version: 20.0.2
pip_executable: "pip"

These variables are used to install packages for HTTPS Setup. We use Python to generate CSRs, Certs, and Keys.

Dependencies

A list of other roles hosted on Galaxy should go here, plus any details in regards to parameters that may need to be set for other roles, or variables that are used from other roles.

Example Playbook

Including an example of how to use your role (for instance, with variables passed in as parameters) is always nice for users too:

    - hosts: servers
      roles:
         - { role: username.rolename, x: 42 }
