\subsection{Glossary}
An \texttt{Ansible playbook} is an organized unit of scripts that defines
work for a server configuration managed by the automation tool \texttt{ansible}.
\subsection{Build Ansible Debian Package}\label{ssec:bansdpac}
The version of Ansible is 2.2 in Debian 9 (stable/Stretch).
The current stable release is Ansible 2.4.
Below documents how to build a 2.4 package for Debian 9.
\begin{minted}{sh}
# To build a Debian package:
# Check here for latest version:
# https://packages.debian.org/sid/ansible
wget http://http.debian.net/debian/pool/main/a/ansible/ansible_2.4.0.0+dfsg-1.debian.tar.xz
wget http://http.debian.net/debian/pool/main/a/ansible/ansible_2.4.0.0+dfsg.orig.tar.gz
# Install some deps
apt-get install debhelper python-all python-crypto python-setuptools python-yaml asciidoc python-nose python-passlib dh-python
tar xf ansible_2.4.0.0+dfsg.orig.tar.gz
cd ansible-2.4.0.0/
tar xf ../ansible_2.4.0.0+dfsg-1.debian.tar.xz
# Update version:
echo -n " -- Jeff Moe <moe@blagblagblag.org> " ; date "+%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S %z"
vim debian/changelog
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -S -uc -us -sa
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b -uc
# That will produce this file to be installed:
dpkg -i ansible_2.4.0.0+dfsg-2_all.deb
apt-get -f install
# If you want the Ansible git archive:
git clone https://github.com/ansible/ansible.git --recursive
\end{minted}
\subsection{Ansible Initial Configuration}
Here is how to set up Ansible after initially installing it.
This is run on the system adminstrator's workstation.
\begin{minted}{sh}
# Quick and dirty test by setting up a host and running `uptime`.
mkdir -p ~/.ansible
echo ns1 > ~/.ansible/hosts
ansible -i ~/.ansible/hosts ns1 -a 'uptime'
\end{minted}
~/.ansible.cfg
\begin{minted}{sh}
[defaults]
inventory = $HOME/.ansible/hosts
[ssh_connection]
ssh_args = -o ControlMaster=auto -o ControlPersist=300s
pipelining = True
\end{minted}
To generate a full list of \texttt{ns} hosts, run the script:
\begin{minted}{sh}
cd source/resources/servers
echo "[ns]" > ~/.ansible/hosts
./ns-serverlist-ansible.sh >> ~/.ansible/hosts
ansible -i ~/.ansible/hosts ns -a "uptime"
# Find the failed hosts and remove them from ~/.ansible/hosts.
echo "[ns]" > ~/.ansible/hosts.tmp
ansible -f 32 -i ~/.ansible/hosts ns -a "echo" | grep ^ns | grep SUCCESS | cut -f 1 -d " " | sort -V >> ~/.ansible/hosts.tmp
mv ~/.ansible/hosts ~/.ansible/hosts.old
mv ~/.ansible/hosts.tmp ~/.ansible/hosts
# Test it works:
ansible -i ~/.ansible/hosts ns -a "uptime"
# To get a ton of info about each host:
ansible -i ~/.ansible/hosts ns -m setup
\end{minted}
XXX Fix, make sure everyone has \texttt{/usr/bin/python} available for \texttt{ansible}:
\begin{minted}{sh}
# XXXX SOME HOSTS DON'T HAVE /usr/bin/python
# JUST PYTHON3. HOSTS THAT DIDN'T HAVE /usr/bin/python:
# (ALL OVH)
# ns14 ns15 ns21 ns22
apt install python python-minimal
\end{minted}
Set up some playbooks, grab examples:
\begin{minted}{sh}
git clone https://github.com/ansible/ansible-examples.git
cd ansible-examples/
\end{minted}

\subsection{Ansible Logging}
Execution processes described in this section are automatically logged to a file called `playbook-execution.log` in the root directory of the project. The path to this log file can be changed by editing `ansible.cfg` in the project root directory and specifying a different path.
\subsection{Troubleshooting}
Ansible has a built in debug output. Simply run Ansible with a `-v`. There are 5 levels of debug output and they are denoted by the number of v's listed. Each level up provide more debug output than the level before it.
\begin{minted}{sh}
Level 1: `-v`
Level 2: `-vv`
Level 3: `-vvv`
Level 4: `-vvvv`
Level 5: `-vvvvv`
\end{minted}
Example execution with level 3 debug output:
\begin{minted}{sh}
ansible-playbook -i inventory.yml site.yml -vvv
