528 Log server and clients (ansible-conf-roles)

Use case 

Use the iocage template ansible-init created in 524 iocage template ansible-init. Configure the repository ansible-conf-init to pull the jails’ configuration from the repository ansible-conf-roles. Create jails from the template. Put the configuration files for the class log-server and log-client into the jails’ directories /root/ansible-vars. Run ansible-pull asynchronously.

Synopsis 

At a managed node:
- In the playbook vbotka.freebsd.pb_iocage_project_create_from_templates.yml create jails from the template ansible-init.
- Configure the jails to use the pkg-repo created in 527 iocage template ansible-pkg-repo.
- Wait for ansible-pull to configure the jails and display the logs.

Requirements 

template ansible-init created in 524 iocage template ansible-init
playbook vbotka.freebsd.pb_iocage_project_create_from_templates.yml
inventory plugin vbotka.freebsd.iocage2
connection vbotka.freebsd.jailexec

Note

Neither the inventory nor the connection plugin is required to create the project. The inventory plugin is used to list the jails and create groups for the test playbooks. The configuration also serves as an example of the connection plugin.

    repo: ansible-conf-roles
    repo_dest: /root
    repo_playbook: pb-roles.yml

Note

The playbook pb-init.yml (from the ansible-conf-init repository) reads this file from /root/ansible-vars using the ansible.builtin.include_vars module (precedence 18.). The ai_db_class dictionary overrides the values defined in the repository’s host_vars. See Understanding variable precedence.

files/ai-conf-roles.yml

ai_conf_roles:
  vbotka.freebsd.packages: [conf, pkg-install]
  vbotka.freebsd.postinstall: [syslogd, syslog-ng]

Note

The playbook pb-roles.yml (from the ansible-conf-roles repository) reads this file from /root/ansible-vars. The repository does not provide a default ai_conf_roles dictionary.

pkg_repos_conf_clean: true

      - {key: 'enabled', value: 'yes'}
      - {key: 'signature_type', value: '"none"'}

Note

To install packages, the jails use the pkg-repo created in 527 iocage template ansible-pkg-repo.

Important

This configuration is minimal and functional for an isolated lab or trusted internal LAN, but it poses several security risks in production or shared network environments.
