Integration

konfigadm can be used to wrap any other configuration management tool, it has the advantage of being able to install the configuration management tool, copy the resources required for the tool and execute the tool all in one convenient package.

Ansible

Playbooks

config.yml

packages:
  - ansible
files:
  /root/playbook.yml: |
    ---
    - name: This is a hello-world example
      hosts: all
      connection: local
      tasks:
        - name: Create a file called '/tmp/testfile.txt'
          copy:
            content: hello world
            dest: /tmp/testfile.txt
commands:
  - ansible-playbook -i 'localhost, ' /root/playbook.yml

konfigadm apply -c config.yml

The playbook and other files can also be externalized by just specifying a relative path to the files to include.

config.yml

packages:
  - ansible
files:
  /root/playbook.yml: playbook.yml
commands:
  - ansible-playbook -i 'localhost, ' /root/playbook.yml

playbook.yml

- name: This is a hello-world example
    hosts: all
    connection: local
    tasks:
      - name: Create a file called '/tmp/testfile.txt'
        copy:
          content: hello world
          dest: /tmp/testfile.txt

Inventory

Ansible inventory files can be used to run konfigadm against remote hosts over SSH. This is supported for the INI inventory format. All hosts in the file will be configured and all variables included will be ignored. Further, hostname ranges, such as ww[0-5].example.com are not supported. konfigadm assumes several things:

1. The SSH user is root
2. SSH key authentication uses an SSH agent or ~/.ssh/id_rsa does not require a password
3. The SSH port is the same for all hosts. The port defaults to 22, but can be changed using the --port command-line flag

The inventory can be used by invoking:

konfigadm apply -i ./inventory -c config.yml
