This repo is continuously developing to have necessary ansible files for robotic and arial robotic purposes. Here, are some samples for ansible manager node to test with vagrant hosts, also physical hosts. The Goal is to make all configurations avalable with IaC standard which also can be usable for companies to define standard procedures for their staff to fallow. Besides, it can make developer's life easier to create Rolebooks to write their instructions in format of code so that they can be reusable by themselves and others in future. In can also be used somehow as a part of documentations of a project. It's possible to login to your own host and play a playbook. just create a ssh key and add public key to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

group_vars: include data that each host in that group may needed or applied to it. For each group vars, a folder is added.

host_vars: include data that each host may needed or applied to it. For each host there is also a folder.

inventory: hosts are written in this file and assigned to various groups

for each host there is a vault file that has been encrypted which contains data for loging in to host. It will be Placed in host_vars. to encrypt file:

ansible-vault encrypt host_vars/dell/vault.yml 

to decrypt file:

ansible-vault decrypt host_vars/dell/vault.yml 

to edite encrypted file:

ansible-vault edit host_vars/dell/vault.yml

These command are just use for tests

For ping host or groups the fallowing command will be used

ansible all -m ping -i inventory/hosts.yml --ask-vault-pass # for using data in vault encrypted files

or you can use ping playbook

ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts.yml playbook_ping.yaml --ask-vault-pass

To ping specific inventory hosts or groups use ansible-playbook as fallow:

ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts.yml -l pcs  playbook_ping.yaml --ask-vault-pass

For install packages from apt, a playbook had writen. It will call hosts_vars and group_vars for install specific item lists. The Keypoint is the fact that you have to user seprate item_list to seprate apt install process for host and group list (-vvvv to have verbosity and see which packages are installing and the file related to item_list). Set hosts to all then specify which to use playbook for them in command line.

ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts.yml -l pcs  playbook_apt_install.yaml -vvv --ask-vault-pass

It read hosts from specific inventory file then select only group names pcs, ask vault pass word and set verbosity.
