# PVC Ansible
|
|
|
|
**NOTICE FOR GITHUB**: This repository is a read-only mirror of the PVC repositories from my personal GitLab instance. Pull requests submitted here will not be merged. Issues submitted here will however be treated as authoritative.
|
|
|
|
A set of Ansible roles to set up PVC nodes. Part of the [Parallel Virtual Cluster system](https://github.com/parallelvirtualcluster/pvc).
|
|
|
|
Tested on Ansible 2.2 through 2.10; it is not guaranteed to work properly on older or newer versions.
|
|
|
|
## 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.
|
|
|
|
This role is optional; the administrator may configure the base system however they please so
|
|
long as the `pvc` role can be installed thereafter.
|
|
|
|
#### pvc
|
|
|
|
This role configures the various subsystems required by PVC, including Ceph, Libvirt, Zookeeper,
|
|
FRR, and Patroni, as well as the main PVC components themselves.
|
|
|
|
## Variables
|
|
|
|
A default example set of configuration variables can be found in `group_vars/default/`.
|
|
|
|
A full explanation of all variables can be found in [the manual](https://parallelvirtualcluster.readthedocs.io/en/latest/manuals/ansible/).
|
|
|
|
## Using
|
|
|
|
*NOTE:* These roles expect a Debian 10.X (Buster) or Debian 11.X (Bullseye) system specifically.
|
|
This is currently the only operating environment supported for PVC.
|
|
|
|
*NOTE:* All non-`default` directories under `group_vars/` and `files/`, and the `hosts` file,
|
|
are ignored by this Git repository. It is advisable to manage these files securely
|
|
in a separate repository and use symlinks to place them in the expected locations in
|
|
this repository. Note that the `files/` data is created during cluster bootstrap.
|
|
You can leverage the `create-local-repo.sh` script to do so automatically.
|
|
|
|
For full details, please see the general [PVC install documentation](https://parallelvirtualcluster.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installing/).
|
|
|
|
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, 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.
