fractal cells || hosting singularity

fractalcells

Launch: 2015-07-24

Documentation: to be written^Wimproved.

Please see the #fractalcells website for the "Why" and "What". This README is, for the time being, exclusively about the "How"

Branches

1. master - "production" branch. Hopefully as stable as X.Y-RELEASE.
2. develop - "experimental" branch. Hopefully as stable as 11.0-CURRENT.
3. feature/<feature_name> - bleeding edge feature branches. Use at your own enjoyment.

Requirements

You may want to use the following software, and know your way around them before evaluating fractalcells || hosting singularity:

1. HardenedBSD 10.3-RELENG
2. One ZFS pool.
3. Ansible
4. ansible-iocage

Additionally, we aim to provide fractalcells || hosting singularity for FreeBSD. This support, however, has limits: We require you use a version of 10.3-RELEASE or later and do not guarantee feature-parity.

For the best support, make sure you're running HardenedBSD builds from the 10.3-RELENG or 11.0-CURRENT branches.

Howto

    git clone https://github.com/fractalcells/ansible-iocage.git
    git clone https://github.com/fractalcells/fractalcells.git
    cd fractalcells
    mkdir library
    ln -s ../ansible-iocage/iocage library/iocage
    cat group_vars/*.example > group_vars/fractalcells
    vim group_vars/fractalcells 		# edit all the things
    cp hosts.example hosts
    vim hosts 					# edit all the things, especially fractalcells section
    cp ansible.cfg.example ansible.cfg
    vim ansible.cfg 				# edit all the things, especially fractalcells section
    ansible-playbook -i hosts bootstrap.yml
    ansible-playbook -i hosts site.yml --check
    ansible-playbook -i hosts site.yml

If you know what you're doing: Congratulations, you're done now. If not: we do offer paid support.

Next Steps

1. Finish all components.
2. Refactor roles/*/iocage.yml into a cellfactory role.
