This is ansible setup script via Docker and containers.

It creates a workstation where we will create and run ansible scripts. and 4 node containers under same network as of workstation namely

NOTE: Default user when nodes starts is user: root

So you have to set root as user for ansible playbook scripts.

NOTE: You have to write directly the below given hostname to your ansible inventory instead of using IP addresses

Workstaion Hostname | user: master

• workstation

Node Hostnames | user: root

• servera
• serverb
• serverc
• serverd

Steps of setup

Step 1 | Build workstation and node Images

Clone the repo through git clone https://github.com/Rishang/dockerAnsi.git and cd dockerAnsi.

This step has to done only once and may take some time.

make build

Step 2 | Start workstation and node containers

make start

Thats it now workstation and node has been started on same network.

Step 3 | access workstation

Access shell of workstation

make run_workstation

This command will give you shell to the workstation container

The ~/script folder in workstation is mounted to local storage so create all your ansible scripts in ~/scripts

cd ~/scripts
