man(8) Ansible on Thunix man(8)
NAME Ansible on Thunix - how we manage the server
SYNOPSIS ansible-pull
DESCRIPTION We use ansible to manage the servers running the systems and services for Thunix. Ansible consists of a "playbook" of YAML files, that declare the state of the system.
The first step is to clone the repo used to manage the environment:
git clone git@ttm.sh:thunix/ansible.git (You will need a tidegit account for this, and a key loaded into your account there)
From there, the typical github-type workflow is used:
* Create a local branch, to track your issue's changes.
* Commit changes to your local branch.
* Send a URI pointing to your repo, with branch name to someone with merge permissions
Inside of the tildegit interface:
* Create a new branch, selecting option to create a branch and pull request
* Make changes in your branch
* Update PR
* Wait for someone to merge your changes
Hourly, a job runs that pulls the latest version of the repo, and the runs ansible-playbook against the playbook. A sudoer can manually run this job, if desired,
and it's located at /etc/cron.hourly/ansible-pull.SEE ALSO tildegit.org(8), git(8), ansible-playbook(8)
BUGS No known bugs.
