Baselineconf

This ansible role is written to apply base configuration on operating system once fresh OS is installed. I mostly follow few steps once OS is ready, so want to leverage automated installation/configuration through Ansible. This playbook should work for both CentOS & Ubuntu. It does following.

• Install few default packages like vim, unzip, wget
• Disable SELinux
• Disable UseDNS and GSSAPI Auth options for ssh connections
• Set Hostname
• Stop and Disable firewall

Requirements

Any pre-requisites that may not be covered by Ansible itself or the role should be mentioned here. For instance, if the role uses the EC2 module, it may be a good idea to mention in this section that the boto package is required.

Role Variables

• hostname - This variable has been defined in default/main.yaml file. When you want to set hostname to something else other than localhost, you can specify hostname by -e "hostname=samplehostname" in ansible-playbook command.

Dependencies

To use this role on fresh installed VM, please make sure atleast python-2.7 is installed.

Example Playbook

Including an example of how to use your role (for instance, with variables passed in as parameters) is always nice for users too:

ansible-playbook init.yaml -e "hostname=samplehostname"
init.yaml
    - name: Setup environment
      hosts: all
      become: yes
      roles:
        - role: alpeshbhavsar.ansible_baselineconf
