Introduction

DebOps is a project designed to provide a set of Ansible roles and playbooks to manage a Debian-based infrastructure. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation of DebOps on OpenSUSE latest version.

Prerequisites

  1. A server running OpenSUSE latest version
  2. The network connection on the server should be stable
  3. Ansible should be installed on your OpenSUSE latest version

Installing DebOps

  1. To start, we need to clone the DebOps repository from GitHub. Open your terminal and use the following command to download DebOps:
 git clone git://github.com/debops/debops.git
  1. In the next step, take a look at the inventory/hosts file, where you can add your hosts, groups or variables to configure them. In this file, you can specify the IPs or hostname of the hosts. If you want, you can add the following example code instead of default code:
## Example hosts configuration file for DebOps.

# Localhost configuration.
localhost ansible_connection=local

# Sample host with list of variables.
samplehost ansible_host=192.0.2.1 ansible_ssh_user=root
  1. After that, we need to generate a new SSH key for autmated SSH access to our hosts. Use the following commands to generate the SSH key:
 ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "[email protected]"
 eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
 ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa
  1. Once DebOps is cloned, we can install the required Ansible roles using the ansible-galaxy command. Run this command to install the roles:
 cd debops
 ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml
  1. DebOps should be installed now, run the following command:
ansible-playbook playbook.yml
  1. If everything goes well, the installation of DebOps on OpenSUSE should be completed.

Conclusion

We have successfully installed DebOps on OpenSUSE latest with Ansible. You have learned how to clone DebOps repository, generate ssh keys, install Ansible roles and run Ansible playbook to setup DebOps. Now, you can use DebOps to manage your Debian-based infrastructure.
