Create ansible Infrastructure with docker using Ubuntu

Prerequisites: Docker, Ansible on Windows 10+ WSL2 or Linux with Ansible and Docker insatlled

To insatll WSL, please follow Microsoft guide at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install

Docker Instruction can be found here: curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh sudo sh get-docker.sh

Using createinfra.sh on Windows and WSL (Ubuntu 20.4 is used here):

1. Clone the repo
2. Ensure the script has execution permission set for the user. if it's not set, set it using sudo chmod u+x createinfra.sh
3. Install Ansible on WSL using sudo apt get install ansible
4. Install docker
5. Add the logged in user to the docker group using sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
6. To create the infrastructure, run ./createinfra.sh -create x where x is the number of containers you want created
7. After creating the infrastructure, the script will create a playbooks directory with the inventory file inventory
8. To verify the created invenory, run ansible all -i playbooks/inventory -m ping
9. To delete the created inventory and start fresh, run ./createinfra.sh -delete the delete the playbooks directory using rm -rf playbooks

using createinfra.sh on Linux:

1. Install Ansible
2. Install docker
3. add the current logged user to docker group sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
4. clone the repo
5. Set execution permission on createinfra.sh sudo chmod u+x createinfra.sh
6. Excute the script and create containers using ./createingfra.sh -create 5

#Note: This script assumes the logged in user is a member of the docker group. to add the user, use sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

To run the one or more of the containers manually, run the following

docker run -rm -tid --cap-add NET_ADMIN --cap-add SYS_ADMIN --publish-all=true -v /srv/data:/srv/html -v /sys/fs/cgroup:/sys/fs/cgroup:ro --name {REPLACE_WITH_CONTAINER_NAME} -h {REPLACE_WITH_CONTAINER_NAME} sageil/ansible-env
