This is an ansible repository for deployment of Caliopen infrastructure.

Deployment is done using ansible playbooks.

2 types of deployments are possibles:

• single machine deployment
• 2 distincts machines set, one for web application another for backend services

Installation

if ansible is not installed on your system:

• make a virtualenv, activate it
• pip -r requirements.txt

Configuration

x509 configuration

• Edit certificates information using your own (rsa key are crypted inside this repository they will not work for you)

rm roles/web/files/certs/*
# generate a new key and csr
openssl req -new -newkey rsa:2048 \
    -keyout roles/web/files/certs/caliopen.key \
    -out roles/web/files/certs/caliopen.crt

# generate the certificate using [CaCert](www.cacert.org) for example
# and set this certificate as roles/web/file/certs/caliopen.crt file

Ansible configuration

• Edit a hosts file with a webservers and backends groups and reachable address of related machines

• Edit a group_vars/backends file using backend.tmpl template

• Edit a group_var/webservers file using webservers.tmpl template

• Edit a host_vars/<machine_name> for all of your machines using relatedtemplate switch machine role

NOTE:

For deployment on a single machine, make the machine appear in both webservers and backends groups

Set the private_ip_address in host_vars/<machine_name> to 127.0.0.1

For deployment on 2 distincts groups of machines, make sure you can have a private network usable on eth1 interface for your machines. This kind of

Deployment

single machine deployment

ansible-playbook -i hosts single.yaml

2 groups of machines

ansible-playbook -i hosts backends.yaml
ansible-playbook -i hosts webservers.yaml

Development environment

There's some special tasks for development (actually there is one that will generate a self-signed cert for you).
You can activate it with following configuration:

#file: group_vars/webservers
is_dev_env: true

Usage

Hence deployment is done, you can play with the caliopen cli command on the webservers machines. You have to activate the python virtualenv for that.
