Ansible Tower Playbook Samples

Using this Repo

Step 1 - Install Ansible Automation Platform

Presumably you have already completed this step before arriving here, however the installation of Automation Controller needs to be completed before you continue.

Step 2 - Edit the Demo Project

1. Login to your Automation Controller as the admin user and click on Project in the left hand sidebar.
2. Click on the Demo Project and edit it. Change the Source Control URL to https://github.com/RedHatGov/ansible-tower-samples and save the project.
3. Make sure the project sync completes.

Step 3 - Create the Controller Credential

1. Navigate to the Credentials section in the left hand sidebar.
2. Click the Add button at the top of the screen and use the following values to create your credential.

Name	'Controller Credential'
Organization	'Default'
Credential Type	'Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform'
Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform	URL of Controller UI
Username	'admin'
Password	admin password

Step 4 - Edit the Demo Job Template

1. Navigate to the Templates section in the left hand sidebar.
2. Click on the Demo Job Template and edit it. Change the playbook field to product_demos.yml. If you do not see this option, go back to step 2 and ensure your project is configured and synced properly.
3. Click the magnifying glass on the Credentials field, change the dropdown in the top right to Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform and select Controller Credential from the list.
4. Save the job template and click Launch

Customization: If you have customized the product-demos project, now would be the time to update the source URL for your project.

Step 5 - Launch the SETUP Job

1. Navigate back to the Templates section in the left hand sidebar.
2. Locate the SETUP job template and click the rocket ship icon on the right to launch the job.
3. Select the use case from the dropdown that you are interested in and continue.

You have now completed the setup. Refer to ansible/product-demos for further documentation.
