boot
.. warn:: This role has been deprecated in favor of ansible-boot-lxc.
The purpose of this role is to start inventory hosts, instanciating them first
if necessary. It will create / start any host which name ends in .lxc
.
Note that you need lxc
, dsnmasq
, and sudo
to be properly
configured. And lxc-python2
(which require lxc-dev
) installed in your
ansible environement. That means that you can create a container with internet
access and that you can resolve it by name.lxc
.
Consider this example inventory::
[flow]
flow.lxc lxc_template_options='-r wheezy'
[rabbitmq]
rabbitmq.lxc
[redis]
redis.lxc
And a playbook like that::
---
- hosts: localhost
become: true
become_user: root
become_method: sudo
roles:
- pdoc.boot
- hosts: redis
roles:
- geerlingguy.redis
- hosts: rabbitmq
roles:
- alexey.rabbitmq
First, pdoc.boot will start the containers and create them if they don't exist, then plays will be executed normally on rabbitmq and redis container hosts.
Note that this will add to your ssh_config::
Host *.lxc
# No need for security for disposable test containers
UserKnownHostsFile /dev/null
StrictHostKeyChecking no
User root
