Update packages on ubuntu and freebsd
🔬 #1
The Vagrant file being used is a copy from
https://github.com/stationgroup/vagrant-labs/tree/master/imperialspeculate.
Two roles are being used: debian-upgrade (an upstream Galaxy role) and freebsd-upgrade (a small role based on what was proposed in the comments of #1 and extended with proper support for check mode.)
The upgrade process is contained in the playbook os_upgrade.yml, which will automatically create proper groups for Ubuntu and FreeBSD hosts. If unneeded, this first play can be left out, and the target hosts: in the second play can be replaced by the relevant groups you have in the inventory (e.g. ec2 tags.)
A local ansible.cfg is defined, and needed for these scripts to run out of the
box. This implies that all ansible commands must be run from the
ansible-experiments/package_updates folder.
A small script setup-requirements is provided, that initializes everything,
including doing a vagrant up. It will generate an ssh-config for said vagrant
boxes, download roles from galaxy, and make a base-install for the hosts
(installing python dependencies, ansible itself on ubuntu1, a deploying an ssh
key to all nodes to be used from the vagrant box ubuntu1, as
ansible controller machine.)
When deploying and setting up from the machine where vagrant runs, you need to
add some extra arguments:
--ssh-extra-args "-F ./vagrant-ssh-config" --inventory hosts-vagrant
to ansible execution. These are not necessary once running ansible from
ubuntu1.
I know these instructions are no good right now. I'm busy with other stuff so bare with me.
If you just want to update all your shit you don't need
README.md
Vagrantfile
setup-requirements
So git clone https://github.com/stationgroup/ansible-experiments and cd into ansiblesexperiments/package_updates.
Add your servers to hosts file.
There is a Ansible Galaxy dependency you will need before first run. ansible-galaxy install -r roles/requirements.yml
Now you can run:
ansible-playbook os_upgrade.yml
