Ansible Setup

To install Ansible, follow these steps:

• Access the Ansible VM instance using ssh:

  • gcloud compute ssh <ansible-server-name>

• Generate SSH keys:

  • ssh-keygen

• Copy the public key:

  • sudo cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

• Access the Jenkins VM instance using ssh.

• Paste the public key within ~/.ssh/authorized_keys folder:

  • sudo vi /home/<username>/.ssh/authorized_keys

• Confirm connection between the two instances:

  • ssh <jenkins-instance-ip-address>

• Run the following commands to install Ansible:

  • Update Repository by including the official project’s PPA
    sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:ansible/ansible
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common sudo apt-get update to refresh the package manager
    

  • Install Ansible (and Python)
    sudo apt-get install -y ansible
sudo apt install python-pip -y
    

  • Install Boto Framework
    sudo pip install boto boto3
sudo apt-get install python-boto -y
    

  • Check that Ansible is installed
    ansible --version
    

  • Add the ip address of the target server to the Ansible's inventory file:
    sudo vi /etc/ansible/hosts
