ANSIBLE on UBUNTU

Step 1 : Install

Here we'll use the ppa:ansible/ansible repository as it is easy to remember.

# apt-get-repository -y ppa:ansible/ansible

# apt-get update

# apt-get install -y ansible

Step 2 : Managing Servers

Ansible has a default inventory file used to define which servers it will be managing. After installation, there's an example one you can reference at /etc/ansible/hosts. I usually copy and move the default one so I can reference it later:

# mv /etc/ansible/hosts /etc/ansible/hosts.orig

Then I create my own inventory file from scratch. 

After moving the example inventory file, create a new /etc/ansible/hosts file, and define some servers to manage.  Here's we'll define two servers under the "web" label:

[web]

192.168.1.50

192.168.1.51

For testing this article, I created a virtual machine, installed Ansible, and then ran Ansible Tasks directly on that server. To do this, my hosts inventory file simply looked like this:

[local]

127.0.0.1
