Personal ansible lab with docker compose based on openSUSE Tumbleweed

Usage

Pull the image

git clone https://github.com/wverac/ansible_lab.git

Create a new pair of SSH Keys

cd ansible_lab

ssh-keygen -q -N '' -f files/ansiblelab_key

Start the lab

docker-compose up -d

Login into control node

docker exec -ti control /bin/bash

Test the initial configuration

Happy hacking!

Notes

Scale nodes

This lab has 3 nodes in addition to the control node initially, but you can scale by editing docker-compose.yml file, e.g.

scale: 6

Or pass the parameter when starting the lab

docker-compose up --scale tumbleweed=6

Don't forget to add the new hosts to the inventory files/inventory

Docker image

I'm using an image based on openSUSE Tumbleweed with the basic packages to run this lab, I did not install systemd (I started the SSH service old school style) in order to don't make this image bigger.

You can find the image on Docker HUB

https://hub.docker.com/r/theovercloud/osuseansible

You can also find the dockerfile in this repo

image/Dockerfile

If you prefer use a Debian image, I also made a small one for this lab:

docker pull theovercloud/debianansible -a

TODO

• Create a dynamic inventory according to the number of nodes scaled
• Add a debian image as node option
• Add troubleshooting packages to the control image
• Add screenshots
