[theVoid-infrastructure] ansible.vm

Ansible ESXi management to create and manipulate virtual machines on good old VMWare ESXI Hypervisors. Builds CoreOS cloud-config volumes for VMWare usage. Relies on DHCP and CoreOS vmx preconfiguration (should be included here for the last part).

Work in progress, should be outdated quickly.

Install and Usage

Install Ansible and VMWare libs. See [access-tower] profile in void-ansible.app

$ git clone https://github.com/uZer/void-ansible.vm.git ~/void-ansible.vm
$ cat >> ~/.zshrc < EOF
playvm() {
    cd ~/void-ansible.vm
    ansible-playbook site.yml \
        --vault-password-file ~/.vault_pass
        -D -i inventories/all-prod -l $@
}
EOF
$ playvm esxi01.void -vvvv
$ playvm esxi01.void

Security concerns

This repository contains a script that builds a "cloud-config repository" : a folder that will contain each cloud-config of each CoreOS, including etcd2 discovery URL. This URL is stored in a vault file. The built repository should not be uploaded
