ansible scripts for setting up an erlang dev environment on a remote ubuntu installation

LAZY-ERLANG

lazy-erlang is an ansible playbook that will help you, a lazy developer, setup up an erlang dev environment on a guest OS, e.g. a linux VM.

I won't lie, lazy-erlang is mostly for my personal use, someday I will merge this into a more elaborate Vagrant setup.

Installs:

• erlang (R15B01)
• rebar (2.0.0)

Bad Things™ lazy-erlang does to your guest OS:

• blows away your .bashrc file (ansible should be backing it up) to update your $PATH
• copies/compiles/installs erlang and rebar in ~/cellar/

Underneath the covers, lazy-erlang uses ansible for deployment, kerl for managing erlang installation.

Installation

Pre-requisites on host OS:

• bash (bootstrap.sh is a shell script)
• python
• python's virtualenv

Pre-requisites on target guest OS:

• ssh
• python (comes pre-installed on most linux installs)
• password-less sudo

Installation Instructions

bootstrap.sh installs the rest of the dependencies local to the repo itself:

git clone git://github.com/gdso/lazy-erlang.git
cd lazy-erlang
./bootstrap

HOWTO use the Playbook

1. Edit the guest-host.ini, replace the host on line 3 with your guest hostname:

    guest0 ansible_ssh_host=[hostname]
   

2. Then setup a temporary ansible environment:

    ./setup-temp-ansible-env.sh
   

3. Then run install:

    ansible-playbook install.yml
   

   Or, if you haven't setup password-less sudo on remote host:

    ansible-playbook install.yml -K
