#Rancher server and agent configuration using Ansible

This repository contains Ansible playbooks for configuring Rancher Servers and Rancher Agents.

⁠Requirements

To run these playbooks you need to have ansible installed: Ansible 1.9

⁠Variables

Playbooks are configured by passing in extra variables. You need to pass in the environment variables in the --extra-vars option when running ansible-playbook. See the provisionServer.sh, provisionAgent.sh and bootstrapProvisioner.sh scripts for examples.

For the server playbook you need to set the --extra-vars:

• RANCHER_SERVER
• RANCHER_PORT
• ADMIN_USER
• ADMIN_PASS

⁠Development environment

There is a development environment setup using Vagrant and Virtualbox. This environment consists 3 boxes: a rancher server, a single agent and a machine to provision the former two using ansible.

You will need to have the following software installed on your development machine:

• Virtualbox (It works with >= 4 but i recommend 5 to maximise compatibility with the version of guest additions - version 5 - installed on the vm)
• Vagrant (>= 1.7.4)

I suggest you use your native/favourite package manager to install these (for windows see chocolately⁠, Mac OSX: homebrew⁠, linux: apt-get :))

To create the environment run command in this directory:

vagrant up

This will provision the machines on first run

To reprovision the server and agent nodes run:

vagrant provision
