neic-pari infrastructure playbooks

Deployment of usegalaxy

The infrastructure is orchestrated by two ansible playbooks. These playbooks define and control all software and configurations used by the setup.

There are three set of playbooks collections:

• main: this is the playbooks for the production infrastructure
• test: this is the playbooks for the test infrastructure
• common: things shared between the test and production sites. Generally these are symbolic links from main and test

In order to use these you will need the project ansible-vault password. If you don't have it, please send a request to admin(at)usegalaxy.no

Setting up a fresh repository with all the useglaxy.no infrastructure playbooks

Initial setup

  # clone the usegalaxy repository
  git clone [email protected]:pari-neic/galaxy-playbbook.git

  cd galaxy-playbbook

  # setup the pre-commit hook that ensures no unencrypted vault-files are commited
  cp pre-commit .git/hooks/
  chmod 755 .git/hooks/pre-commit  

  # setup and activate a virtual environment
  python3 -m venv venv
  source venv/bin/activate

  # install python requirements
  pip install -r requirements.txt

  # install collections
  ansible-galaxy collection install ansible.posix

  # install ansible roles
  cd env/common
  ansible-galaxy install -p roles -r requirements.yml

  # Enter project password into vault_password
  $EDITOR vault_password
  

Deploying an infrastructure

  # Change into either main or test environment
  cd env/test

  # bootstrap the servers
  # As the nrec user is centos this needs to be run slightly differently
  ansible-playbook -e "ansible_user=centos" galaxy.yml

  # install workflows and related tools 
  ansible-playbook workflows.yml
