Ansible files for managing classroom machines at GJK.
There are two classrooms, POV and POM. All machines are running Void Linux with Gnome in dual-boot with Windows.
GDM configuration can be found at https://help.gnome.org/admin/system-admin-guide/stable/index.html.en.
New client installation
There are several differences in the hardware. System installation is usually done in EFI, though MBR still exists on older machines in POV.
- Install Void
- Update
xbps
:xbps-install -Su xbps
- Install
python3
andavahi
:xbps-install python3 avahi
- Enable avahi service:
ln -s /etc/sv/avai-deamon/ /var/service/
- Import your SSH key to
/root/.ssh/authorized_keys
Void has sshd
enabled by default as well as having prohibit-password
set for root. Post-installation setup can be automated using a script or USB keyboard injector.
Running a playbook
Here are some examples for running a playbook.
ansible-playbook setup.yaml
ansible-playbook -l teachers setup.yaml
ansible-playbook -l VU00.local setup.yaml
ansible-playbook --key-file ~/.ssh/keys/gjk-ansible setup.yaml
Tags can be used to execute or exclude specific parts of the playbook.
ansible-playbook -t grub setup.yaml
ansible-playbook -t [grub, software] setup.yaml
ansible-playbook --skip-tags software setup.yaml
SSH configuration
You should setup your ssh to avoid unnecessary settings when running a playbook, for example:
Host VU* MU*
User root
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/keys/gjk-ansible
StrictHostKeyChecking no
UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null
