Bringing machine 'm1' up with 'virtualbox' provider. The Ansible controller can be installed on Linux and MacOS, so if your Vagrant host is one of those operating systems, you are ready to both deploy your Virtual Machine with Vagrant and provision it with your Ansible Playbooks. Sample output: Bringing machine 'controller' up with 'virtualbox' provider. Vagrant will call our Ansible playbook on vagrant up or on vagrant provision automatically.
#Vagrant ansible how to#
We have two basic options how to use Ansible together with Vagrant: Option 1: Use Ansible integration with Vagrant. I understand Vagrant to be a what I can call "All-Level-Virtualization" (operating-system and possibly also some stack above it), yet I'm not sure if that's correct.Ansible_groups = " state : " present" with_items : - ' django-markdown-deux' - ' django-tables2' when : install_django - hosts : all become : true vars : - pri_domain_name : ' ' roles : - role : ansible-inventory # ignore_errors: true tasks : - hosts : mixed-nodes become : true vars : - pri_domain_name : ' ' roles : - role : ansible-nginx tasks : - hosts : all become : true vars : - enable_manage_ssh_keys : true #defines if remote ssh keys should be managed - manage_ssh_keys : - remote_user : vagrant #define username on remote system to add defined keys to state : present #defines if ssh key should be added or removed (absent|present) keys : #define key(s) to add to remote username - ' /Users/larrysmithjr/.ssh/id_rsa. Go to the project directory and run the 'vagrant up' command and the rest will be taken care of by vagrant and bootstrap script. When we can successfuly start our Vagrant box, it is time to setup the provisioning via Ansible. Sometimes when I read about either Ansible or Docker I come across mentions of Vagrant which is another software. On my MacOS host Inhave Vagrant from HashiCorp installed along with. Step 2: Initialize a Vagrantfile with Ubuntu Image. Step 1: Choose a folder to keep all vagrant-related files and Create a VM project directory.

I also understand that Operating-System-Level-Virtualization ("Containerization") software like Docker (also utilizing YAML in a unique format) allows us to "copy away" containers of "frozen just-bake" data, from one machine to 1 or more other machines to have a pre-processed data to work with and to change minorally per specific nneds to save time of repeatitive creation of that data in the container time and again. Let's show how great Ansible is to provision vagrant virtual machines. Ansible Images Vagrant README.md README. Vagrant with Ansible Provisioner on Windows Long story short, ansible does not work on a Windows control machine, so you basically have to: either run ansible -connectionlocal. In this section, you will learn how to create a Virtual machine using vagrant. For this tutorial, I am using Fedora 24 as my host system and Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty) as my Vagrant box.

#Vagrant ansible install#
I understand that Ansible is a Configuration Management (CM) tool for orchestrating, deploying (and continuously upgrading) software and conf via a special YAML format created for that software, and that Ansible actions can be done on the local machine via a locally executed Ansible playbook, or remotely for 1 or more machines by listing IP addresses for an Ansible playbook in an Ansible storage file and executing both the storage and associated playbook (without needing to install Ansible on the one or more remote machines). Using Ansible, we can automate the task of provisioning the Vagrant boxes with our development packages.
