|  | ## Roles | ||||||
|  |  | ||||||
|  | This repository contains two roles: | ||||||
|  |  | ||||||
|  | #### base | ||||||
|  |  | ||||||
|  | This role provides a standardized and configured base system for PVC. This role expects that | ||||||
|  | the system was installed via the PVC installer ISO, which results in a Debian Buster system. | ||||||
|  |  | ||||||
| ## Variables | ## Variables | ||||||
|  |  | ||||||

| ## Using | ## Using | ||||||
|  |  | ||||||
| 0. Deploy Debian 10 to a set of servers. | 0. Deploy a set of 3 or 5 initial PVC nodes using the PVC install ISO. | ||||||
| 0. Create a new cluster group in the `hosts` file. | 0. Configure the networking on the hosts via `ssh deploy@<host>` and editing the | ||||||

| 0. Run the `pvc.yml` playbook against the servers. |    vlans. Remember to remove the static or DHCP configuration from the primary (`upstream`, | ||||||
|  |    usually) network interface that was set by the installer to allow bootstrapping. Use the | ||||||
|  |    `manual` mode for all interfaces that PVC will manage. Bring up all configured interfaces | ||||||
|  |    via `ifup`. | ||||||
|  | 0. Create a new cluster group in the `hosts` file, using `hosts.default` as an example. For | ||||||
|  |    the initial bootstrap run, it is recommended to only include the initial coordinators | ||||||
|  |    to ensure a smooth bootstrapping. | ||||||
|  | 0. Create a set of vars in `group_vars`, using `group_vars/default` as an example. Ensure | ||||||
|  |    that all desired coordinators are configured with the `is_coordinator: yes` flag. | ||||||
|  | 0. Run the `pvc.yml` playbook against the servers. If this is the very first run for a given | ||||||
|  |    cluster, use the `-e bootstrap=yes` variable to ensure the Ceph, Patroni, and PVC clusters | ||||||
|  |    are initialized. | ||||||
