Ansible workshop

Last week some people in the Tech circle mentioned it would be great to do a training session on Ansible. I think that the general concepts are understood but the more practical issues not so much:

  • How do you actually run Ansible (what is a normal/recommended workflow).
  • How to execute a number of roles/playbooks on a server.
  • How to separate logic and data/configuration (especially when using code developed in the open).
  • How to keep secrets secure (same as above).

I can share what I’ve learned in the last few years but I’m positive that other people’s methods are more in line with what is considered “good practices” with Ansible. @decentral1se @chris anyone else?

I’d be interested in this if the code was open and the project was abiding by it’s stated values:

The generated software scripts and knowledge are shared as Free Software and under free licenses, following collaborative methodologies that facilitate replication and a decentralised architecture.

Sorry but I’m not really interested in working with proprietary code.

Don’t have more unpaid hours for this project.

We’re (slowly) getting there. As you know meet.coop has been running under Collocall’s infrastructure for a while. They agreed to publish their deployment playbooks but they need to be cleaned up from their configuration specifics, see @hng 's message: Could current existing code please be added to git.coop/meet? - #7 by hng
