# Verdnatura Ansible playbooks
Collection of Ansible playbooks used in the Verdnatura server farm.
## Install Ansible
Instal Ansible on Debian.
```
apt install ansible
```
## Run playbook
Before merging changes into protected branches, playbooks should be tested
locally to ensure they work properly.
Launch playbook on the fly on a host not declared in the inventory.
```
ansible-playbook.sh -i <ip_or_hostname>, [--tags tag1,tag2] playbooks/test.yml
```
*Note the comma at the end of the hostname or IP.*
## Manage vault
To manage Ansible vault place the password into *.vaultpass* file.
View or edit the vault file.
```
ansible-vault {view,edit} --vault-pass-file .vaultpass vault.yml
```
When running playbooks that use the vault the *vault-playbook.sh* script can
be used, it is ovelay over the original *ansible-playbook* command.
## Common playbooks
* **facts.yml**: Collect and display facts from a host
* **ping.yml**: Check that a host is alive and reachable
* **awx.yml**: Create and configure AWX user
* **debian.yml**: Setup base Debian server
