metal-stack deployment

This repository builds the deployment base image that can be used for deploying metal-stack with Ansible.

Using metal-stack Ansible Roles

In case your deployment depends on Ansible roles that are referenced in a metal-stack release vector (e.g. releases), these role dependencies can be dynamically installed through the release vector OCI artifacts by running the following command before playbook execution:

# requires the metal_stack_release_vectors variable to be defined in your ansible variables
$ ansible localhost -m metalstack.base.metal_stack_release_vector
- Installing ansible-common (v0.6.13) to /root/.ansible/roles/ansible-common
- Installing metal-ansible-modules (v0.2.10) to /root/.ansible/roles/metal-ansible-modules
- Installing metal-roles (v0.15.17) to /root/.ansible/roles/metal-roles

Alternatively, you can also create a small playbook and execute this instead:

---
# requires the metal_stack_release_vectors variable to be defined in your ansible variables
- name: Resolve metal-stack release vector
  gather_facts: no
  hosts: localhost
  connection: local
  tasks:
    - metalstack.base.metal_stack_release_vector:

After that, just as if ansible-galaxy was used, the roles referenced in the release vector are installed in ~/.ansible/roles.
