Getting Started

Requirements

For a single machine and orchestrator:

• Ubuntu 16.04 or Debian 8 orchestrator machine
• Ansible 2.0+ installed
• sshpass installed

For multiple machines and a single orchestrator:

• Ubuntu 16.04 or Debian 8 orchestrator machine
• Ansible 2.0+ installed
• sshpass installed
• Client machines running Ubuntu 12.04, Debian 7 or CentOS 6, or newer.

Usage

First-time usage:

• Install Ansible 2.0+ and sshpass on your management workstation

• Clone the Magic Glass repositories.

git clone https://github.com/getglass/magic-glass.git

git clone https://github.com/getglass/magic-glass-secrets.git

• Follow the instructions for the magic-glass-secrets repository
• To create the "glass" user according to your preferences (set in group_vars/all), run Magic Glass in "bootstrap" mode.

ansible-playbook site.yml -i inventory --ask-pass --ask-become-pass

• For future runs, simply use this command.

ansible-playbook site.yml -i inventory

• You can also add "--limit=hostgroup" to limit your runs to a specific set of hosts.
