ansible-admin

A series of Ansible playbooks that I find I need on a regular basis.

This has been tested on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.

Setup

• Navigate to the ansible_admin directory.
• Run bash ./setup/packages.sh script to ensure you have the correct OS packages needed.
• Run python ./setup/ip_scanner.py file to generate the hosts.ini file in the artifacts folder. This file will be used with the playbooks.

Usage

Navigate to the ansible_admin directory to run the playbooks, using the following command:

ansible-playbook ./playbooks/<yml file>

Playbooks

• gather_hardware_info.yml: Collects various facts about the devices on a network and saves them as text files in the artifacts folder.
• debian_hosts.yml: Sorts through hosts.ini file and creates a group for Debian systems.
• speedtest.yml: Runs a speedtest on the local machine and saves the report in the artifacts folder.
• debian_upgrades.yml: Updates the targeted system(s) and saves a report with an indication if the server must be rebooted.
• docker_install.yml: Adds the Docker repo to apt and installs the Docker Engine.
• gitlab_runner_install.yml: Adds the Gitlab repo to apt and installs Gitlab Runner at the system level. It does not register the runner.
• cuda_toolkit.yml: Installs the keys and drivers for NVIDIA CUDA, and reboots.
• cuda_verify.yml: Verifies the nvcc -V and nvidia-smi outputs and saves as a report.

Notes

The branch names are going in order on the Chrono Trigger soundtrack. Because you need to have a little fun in your coding.
