Acorn System Administration Tools
This repository contains files, scripts, & documentation for the automated administration of Acorn's Linux servers(Slackware), workstations(Debian), & VM cluster(OpenStack).
You can read all the documentation at http://acorn-networking.rtfd.org.
The main applications we use are Ansible and Fabric.
The Ansible and Fabric dependencies may be installed via pip:
pip install ansible Fabric
You can build the documentation yourself by using Sphinx, also installed via
pip:
# Create & Source A Python Virtual Environment python -m venv Env source Env/bin/activate pip install -r requirements.txt cd docs make html firefox build/html/index.html
You can run just make to see all the formats you can build. You might want
make latexpdf to generate a PDF of the documentation.
If you are writing documentation, run make livehtml to open the docs in
your browser, and automatically rebuild the documentation & refresh the page
when a source file is modified.
The diagrams in the documentation are made with Pencil, the source file is
located at docs/source/diagrams.epgz.
