Steps to set up go-agent

Go-agent set up steps

• Choose some inventory file and add go-agent host entry with the right ipaddress

•  Run the go-agent play on playbook

                ansible-playbook go.yml -i <<inventory_file>> -t go-agent --vault-password-file ~/.vaultpass.txt -k -vvvv

• For prod and pre-prod envs

               ansible-playbook go.yml -i <<inventory_file>> -t go-agent --extra-vars="location=prod" --vault-password-file ~/.vaultpass.txt -k -vvvv

               This copies the ansible-deploy.sh file present in the prod folder of playbooks, which combines prod configs with our playbooks.

•  Copy the appropriate vault password to ~/.vaultpass.txt

•  Download the secret key from our google-drive  to decrypt the encrypted seed data to ~/secret-key

•  Generate SSH keys on the new go-agent

                ssh-keygen -t rsa

•  Attempt to SSH from the go-agent box into all the configured hosts.Enter “yes” when prompted for “Are you sure connecting…"

•  Copy go keys from the agent box to all the hosts of the respective environment.

               ansible-playbook all.yml -i <<inventory_file>> -t copy-go-keys --vault-password-file ~/.vaultpass.txt -vvvv -k

• To Update the release branch of playbooks

  • On QA,Showcase
    ansible-playbook -i inventories/qa go.yml --tags "ansible-deploy" -k --vault-password-file ~/.vaultpass.txt --extra-vars="branch=R2.1"

  • not specifying extra-vars will default to master branch.
