DEPRECATION NOTICE

Originally Ansible playbooks (used to deploy Kubernetes cluster) were part of this repository. It has, however, proved challenging to maintain them here because of other roles/playbooks that weren't in the repository (e.g. PXE server deployment, KVM server deployment etc).

A decision has therefore been made to move Ansible playbooks from this repository to their own dedicated GitHub repository called homelab-ansible.

Files in this folder are left for references only, and are no longer maintained. Ansible playbooks to configure Kubernetes homelab can be found in homelab-ansible repository.

Passwordless SSH Authentication

Configure passwordless root SSH authentication from some device where Ansible is installed (e.g. your laptop) to all nodes:

for i in $(seq 1 6);do ssh-copy-id -f -i ./roles/hl.users/files/id_rsa_root.pub [email protected]${i};done

Set Ansible User Password

Create a file vault.key to store your Ansible Vault secret (see ansible.cfg for vault_password_file). Use Ansible Vault to create an encrypted file ./roles/hl.users/defaults/secure.yml to store your user password:

ansible-vault create ./roles/hl.users/defaults/secure.yml

The variable for user password is user_password.

Deploy Kubernetes Cluster

Kubernetes cluster defaults are defined in roles/hl.k8s-cluster/defaults/main.yml.

Run the main playbook:

ansible-playbook ./playbooks/main-k8s-hosts.yml

How to Get Kubernetes Dashboard Token
