StackHPC release automation

Release train documentation is available at https://stackhpc.github.io/stackhpc-release-train/.

Installation

On Ubuntu:

sudo apt update
sudo apt -y install python3-venv

Then create a virtual environment and install Python and Ansible dependencies:

python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -U pip
pip install -r requirements.txt
ansible-galaxy collection install -r requirements.yml -p ansible/collections

Prerequisites

These playbooks may interact with the public Pulp server, ark.stackhpc.com, as well as a private one running on SMS lab, pulp-server.internal.sms-cloud.

You may wish to install a Pulp CLI for interactive use, although this is not required to run the playbooks:

sudo dnf -y install python3-pip

On Ubuntu:

sudo apt -y install python3-pip

Then:

pip3 install pulp-cli[pygments] --user
pulp config create --username admin --base-url http://<pulp server>:8080 --password <password>
pulp status

If using Debian repositories,

pip3 install pulp-cli-deb --user

Usage

Set the Ansible Vault password:

export ANSIBLE_VAULT_PASSWORD_FILE=/path/to/vault/password

Playbooks may then be run as follows:

ansible-playbook -i ansible/inventory ansible/<playbook>

Information on the different playbooks is available in the release train documentation.
