If you will be deploying to a cloud provider, please first check to see if we have a terraform package for your provider. This will aid you in ensuring certain required steps are performed first.

<aside> 💡 We highly recommend using our terraform provider, or at least modify one to work with your desired provider. A lot of the installation challenges come from running our ansible installer on a platform we have not used.

Setup Ansible

Install Ansible

Please see the ansible installation guide for more details on how to proceed with installing ansible.

• INSTALL ON MAC OS
• INSTALL ON LINUX

Download our Ansible Package

QUICK INSTALL

1. Download latest zip from https://github.com/ComputeStacks/ansible-install

2. Decompress and open directory

   mv inventory.yml.sample inventory.yml
   make roles
   

• INSTALL FROM GIT (OPTIONAL)

<aside> 💡 If you used our terraform providers, you can skip the mv inventory.yml.sample inventory.yml command and copy the result/inventory.yml file to the root of this directory.

<aside> ⚠️ The actual bootstrap process can take up to an hour, so we recommend you setup your ansible environment on a remote linux server, and run either tmux or screen.

Inventory File

Please review your inventory.yml file and ensure all the settings are correct. You may check the roles/<role>/defaults/main.yml file for each role to see additional configuration options.
