Getting started¶

The Pulp 3 Ansible installer is a collection of roles to install or upgrade Pulp 3 hosted on galaxy: https://galaxy.ansible.com/pulp/pulp_installer

Installation¶

The recommended installation is from ansible-galaxy:

ansible-galaxy collection install pulp.pulp_installer

Using the example playbook¶

Some of the roles used in the playbook use root privileges on the managed node, so when prompted, you will need to provide the password for the managed node user.

ansible-playbook playbooks/example-use/playbook.yml -u <managed_node_username> --ask-become-pass

To configure a custom installation, you will need to set configuration variables. In the simplest case, they can be set in the playbook. See the Ansible docs for more flexible idiomatic alternatives.

Example Playbook for Installing Plugins¶

As an example, we are going to write a playbook for installing pulp_container and pulp_rpm. You can learn more about the variables on the roles section

1 - Install the pulp_installer collection:

ansible-galaxy collection install pulp.pulp_installer

2 - Install the geerlingguy.postgresql role:

ansible-galaxy install geerlingguy.postgresql

3 - Write the following playbook:

vim install.yml

---
- hosts: all
  vars:
    pulp_settings:
      secret_key: << YOUR SECRET HERE >>
      content_origin: "https://{{ ansible_fqdn }}"
    pulp_default_admin_password: << YOUR PASSWORD HERE >>
    pulp_install_plugins:
      # galaxy-ng: {}
      # pulp-ansible: {}
      # pulp-certguard: {}
      pulp-container: {}
      # pulp-cookbook: {}
      # pulp-deb: {}
      # pulp-file: {}
      # pulp-gem: {}
      # pulp-maven: {}
      # pulp-npm: {}
      # pulp-python: {}
      pulp-rpm: {}
  roles:
    - pulp.pulp_installer.pulp_all_services
  environment:
    DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE: pulpcore.app.settings

ansible-playbook install.yml -u <managed_node_username> --ask-become-pass
