3 | ## SETTING UP VIRTUALIZATION TOOLS ON YOUR FEDORA MACHINE: |
||
4 | Install the following packages: |
||
5 | |||
6 | `$ sudo dnf install libvirt qemu-kvm kvm libguestfs-tools virt-install` |
||
7 | |||
8 | Then, download an image for the OS you want to run in your VM. |
||
9 | Here is a link to download an .iso for Fedora 26: |
||
10 | https://getfedora.org/en/workstation/download/ |
||
11 | |||
12 | To launch "Virtual Machine Manager" press Super key and search "Virtual Machine Manager" |
||
13 | |||
14 | 1\) File -\> New Virtual Machine |
||
15 | 2\) Local install media |
||
16 | \* use file browser to find your downloaded image |
||
17 | 3\) accept default settings |
||
18 | |||
19 | \================================================== |
||
20 | |||
21 | SETTING UP THE VM: |
||
22 | install fedora |
||
23 | \* set hostname: give it a name other than localhost. |
||
24 | \* make it meaningful |
||
25 | \* set root password (weak one is OK) |
||
26 | \* if you make a user, make sure to give them sudo access |
||
27 | |||
28 | \--------------------------- |
||
29 | NOTE: |
||
30 | If you forgot to make "admin" have sudo access: |
||
31 | Once VM is running, go to terminal and switch to root |
||
32 | |||
33 | `[root@VM0 admin]# gpasswd --add admin wheel` |
||
34 | |||
35 | Then restart |
||
36 | |||
37 | \-------------------------- |
||
38 | \-------------------------- |
||
39 | WARNING: |
||
40 | \`localhost\` is a BAD hostname. Each of your VMs should have a unique hostname. If you have cloned this VM from another, it will have the same hostname. This needs to change |
||
41 | It is imperative that you change your hostname before installing any pulp components, as they use the hostname and can produce undefined behavior if the hostname is changed after the fact. |
||
42 | |||
43 | See your current hostname with: |
||
44 | <code> |
||
45 | $ echo $HOSTNAME |
||
46 | |||
47 | To change your hostname, run |
||
48 | |||
49 | $ sudo hostnamectl set-hostname DESIRED_NAME |
||
50 | </code> |
||
51 | \---------------------------- |
||
52 | |||
53 | \========================================================== |
||
54 | SETTING UP ANSIBLE (on the VM): |
||
55 | |||
56 | Install the ansible package: |
||
57 | |||
58 | `$ sudo dnf install ansible git` |
||
59 | |||
60 | Ansible info: |
||
61 | For documentation see http://docs.ansible.com/ |
||
62 | Take the learning.redhat.com course DO407R (Automation with Ansible Online) course |
||
63 | |||
64 | Download the pulp_packaging repo: |
||
65 | |||
66 | `$ git clone https://github.com/pulp/pulp_packaging.git` |
||
67 | |||
68 | Now we need to make a \`hosts\` file for ansible. Use the results of the \`hostname\` command in the place of 'localhost': |
||
69 | <code> |
||
70 | $ cd pulp_packaging/ci/ansible |
||
71 | $ cat \> hosts \<<EOF |
||
72 | > $(hostname) |
||
73 | \> EOF |
||
74 | </code> |
||
75 | |||
76 | To choose the version of pulp that you will install, edit the file: |
||
77 | \`pulp_packaging/ci/ansible/roles/pulp/defaults/main.yaml\` |
||
78 | OR pass \` -e pulp_version=2.13 -e pulp_build=stable\` |
||
79 | OR in hosts file, specify pulp_version and pulp_build on the same line as hostname, i.e. |
||
80 | “Nameofhost pulp_version=2.13 pulp_build=stable” |
||
81 | |||
82 | Now you are ready to run the ansible playbook: |
||
83 | `$ sudo ansible-playbook -i hosts -e ansible_connection=local pulp_server.yaml` |
||
