MACFE Infrastructure

Ansible playbooks for configuring MAC Formula machines. Playbooks are ran from an arbitrary control machine, not the machines you are provisioning.

Requirements for Control Machine

• Python3
• Ansible

A virtual environment is recommended.

Requirements for Target Machines

• SSH server running (sshd)
• User account accessible via SSH key authentication
• Python3

Setup

1. Create and activate a virtual environment:

   python3 -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate

2. Install Ansible and dependencies:

   pip install ansible
   ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml

3. Set up SSH key authentication to target machines:

   ssh-copy-id macformula@<target-ip>

Usage

Run the main playbook:

ansible-playbook -i inventory site.yaml

Or if you haven't set up SSH keys, specify a password:

ansible-playbook -i inventory site.yaml --ask-pass
