Overview

Configures an already-installed IRIX system.

Requirements

• Host with ansible installed
• IRIX target host with telnet available

Usage:

Make a new file ~/.vault_pass.txt with your vault password in it. If your password is 'password', the file will only contain 'password'.

Delete group_vars/default/vault.yml , and make your own file that looks like this:

---
su_password: your_passwd

Then encrypt it:

ansible-vault encrypt group_vars/default/vault.yml --vault-password-file ~/.vault_pass.txt

Phase 1

Examine and modify the inventory.yml file (in the top level directory) to match your local requirements.

Run the bootstrap playbook on a system that has just been installed. It expects the root password to be blank.

This playbook will

• create an 'ansible' user
• copy several bundles via ftp
• install wget, python, and openssh
• start sshd

ansible-playbook -i inventory.yml bootstrap.yml --vault-password-file ~/.vault_pass.txt

Phase 2

Examine and modify the master_setup playbook to your liking, then run it. You can comment out unneeded roles.

• be sure and change the username at the bottom of master_setup to your selected user for the SGI

The master_setup playbook currently

• installs nekodeps
• installs base packages
• sets up bash as an available shell
• adds a user
• enables remote x11
• configures ntp
• installs findutils
• performs security hardening

ansible-playbook  -i inventory.yml -u ansible master_setup.yml -k  --become-method=su --vault-password-file ~/.vault_pass.txt

When prompted for "SSH password", enter 'ansible'.

When provisioning on OSX you need the sshpass package:

brew install http://git.io/sshpass.rb
