Use this playbook to have Ansible install forgeops on your local workstation where you have minikube running (or where you can install minikube).

ansible-forgeops

ForgeOps is a collection of ForgeRock resources to help you get started in the cloud. These resources demonstrate how to deploy the ForgeRock Identity Platform on Kubernetes.

Use this playbook to have Ansible install forgeops on your local workstation where you have minikube running (or where you can install minikube).

Prerequisites

Note: I have tried to install most of these libraries during the pre_tasks stage in this playbook. At a minimum install Homebrew and Ansible yourself and then see if the playbook will install everything else. I will update this note as I have the time to do more testing. YMMV.

On Host Machine: (e.g. your laptop)

• Install Homebrew - /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
• brew install ansible
• pip install openshift

Install packages required by ForgeRock ()

• brew cask install docker
• brew cask install virtualbox
• brew install kubernetes-cli
• brew install skaffold
• brew install kustomize
• brew install kubectx
• brew install minikube

How to use

clone this repo to your localhost

Customize the environment

Modify the inventory file "hosts" with the specific values for your enviroment. You'll likely only need to change dev_home_dir and namespace.

Usage

You can run these playbooks like this:

ansible-playbook -i ./hosts start_forgeops_install.yml

ansible-playbook -i ./hosts destroy_forgeops.yml

Manual Configuration

Make sure you update your /etc/hosts with the ip from "minikube ip" Output: 192.168.100.101

cat /etc/hosts 192.168.100.101 my-namespace.iam.example.com

Important Notes

• You may need to wait a few minutes for the services to finish starting before the console will load in a browser

ansible-forgeops's Issues

Stop Skaffold from pushing Docker images to a remote Docker registry

Add license

Add task to create namespace

• Check for existing namespace before creating
• Make the new namespace your active namespace

Add task for hostname resolution

The playbook should update the /etc/hosts file with the IP that is returned when the following command is run: "minikube ip"

e.g.
192.168.99.105 my-namespace.iam.example.com

Create Playbook to deploy ForgeOps with Kubernetes on Virtualbox VMs

As a DevOps engineer I would like the ability to use Ansible to deploy ForgeOps to either Minikube or Kubernetes on Virtualbox VMs.

Acceptance Criteria:

• Use Vagrant to build VMs
• Use Ansible to install K8
• Use Ansible to deploy ForgeOps to K8 infrastructure
• When running the playbook I can select minikube or kubernetes as my infrastructure

Set up your local computer to execute docker commands on Minikube’s Docker engine

forgeops repo url should be read from variable

create tasks to install brew packages
