Getting started with fli on Ubuntu 16.04 with Ansible

How to

Prerequisites

  • You will need SSH access to one Ubuntu 16.04 server. You should use a non-root user account and that account should have permission to run commands as root, using sudo . You can set this up by following this initial server setup tutorial, including step 4.
  • Also make sure to sudo apt-get install python because ansible needs python 2.7 on Ubuntu 16.04

Install Ansible on a Control Host

Mac OSX control host

Install Ansible on Mac OSX control machine.

$ brew install ansible

Other OS control host

For other distrobutions, check here: Getting Ansible

Configure and Run fli

$ git clone https://github.com/ClusterHQ/examples $ cd examples/fli-ansble

$ export ANSIBLE_HOST_KEY_CHECKING=False

$ vi ansible-hosts # change <your-servers-ip>

Note: you only need --private-key if you need a key to login as root to your servers.

Install (fli) on your ansible machine(s)

$ ansible-playbook --private-key ~/your/key -i ${PWD}/ansible-hosts  fli-playbook.yml

Run fli via ansible.

$ ansible servers -i ${PWD}/ansible-hosts --private-key ~/your/key -a fli
host1 | SUCCESS | rc=0 >>

$ ansible servers -i ${PWD}/ansible-hosts --private-key ~/your/key -a 'fli setup -z chq'
host1 | SUCCESS | rc=0 >>

$ ansible servers -i ${PWD}/ansible-hosts --private-key ~/your/key -a 'fli config -t /root/fh.token'
host1 | SUCCESS | rc=0 >>

$ ansible servers -i ${PWD}/ansible-hosts --private-key ~/your/key -a 'fli init myVolumeset'
host1 | SUCCESS | rc=0 >>

$ ansible servers -i ${PWD}/ansible-hosts --private-key ~/your/key -a 'fli list -a'
host1 | SUCCESS | rc=0 >>

Or login to your server as root and you can now use fli.

$ ssh -i ~/your/key root@<ip-of-server>
server:$ fli setup -z chq
server:$ fli config -t /root/fh.token
server:$ fli init myVolumeset
server:$ fli list -a
