Installing DebOps on Fedora CoreOS Latest

DebOps is a set of Ansible roles designed to help manage Debian-based Linux systems. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing DebOps on Fedora CoreOS Latest instance.

Prerequisites

  • A Fedora CoreOS Latest instance with SSH access
  • sudo privileges on the instance

Step 1: Updating the System

Before installing DebOps, ensure the system is fully updated by running the following command:

sudo rpm-ostree update

This will update the kernel and packages to their latest versions.

Step 2: Installing Ansible

DebOps relies on Ansible, so you need to install it before proceeding.

To install Ansible on Fedora CoreOS Latest, run:

sudo rpm-ostree install ansible

This installs Ansible and its dependencies.

Step 3: Cloning the DebOps Repository

DebOps is available on GitHub as a repository. Clone the repository using the following command:

git clone https://github.com/debops/debops.git

This will create a debops directory with all the DebOps roles.

Step 4: Setting up the Inventory

Inventory is a list of hosts managed by Ansible. Create an inventory file named inventory.ini in the debops directory you cloned:

cd debops
nano inventory.ini

Copy the following into the file:

[all:vars]
ansible_python_interpreter=/usr/bin/python3
ansible_connection=ssh
ansible_ssh_user=<your_ssh_user>
ansible_ssh_private_key_file=<path_to_your_private_ssh_key>

[debops_all_hosts]
<your_server_ip>

Make sure to replace <your_ssh_user> with your username and <your_server_ip> with your IP address. Also, replace <path_to_your_private_ssh_key> with the path to your private SSH key file.

Save and close the file.

Step 5: Running a Test Ping Command

Let’s test the connection between our inventory and the remote host. In the debops directory, type:

ansible -i inventory.ini -m ping all

This will ping your server to confirm Ansible can connect to it.

Step 6: Running DebOps

Now, we are ready to install DebOps. In the debops directory, type:

ansible-playbook -i inventory.ini debops.yml

This will install DebOps and its dependencies on your server.

Conclusion

In conclusion, you now know how to install DebOps on Fedora CoreOS Latest instance. You can now use DebOps to manage your Debian-based Linux systems.
