This role is for setting up a server for the DBT-2 terminal emulators (a.k.a. the driver) transaction manager.
This is required in a 3-tier or 2-tier client-server configurations.
Following are the requirements of this role.
- Ansible
When executing the role via ansible these are the required variables:
- dbt2_version
These playbooks can install any version of DBT-2 that is packaged into an AppImage from GitHub. See the following link for available versions: https://github.com/osdldbt/dbt2/releases
- dbt2_path
This is the location where the DBT-2 AppImage will be installed.
For ease of use, try to set this location within a directory along the executable PATH
.
Unless necessary, there shouldn't be any reason to change this default.
- pg_owner
This is used to ensure the operating system user to use for running the DBT-2
client is created. For ease of autoamtion, this should be the same user that
is defined for the setup_dbt2
role. A different default is set depending
on which vars
file is inherited, which is based on the PostgreSQL
distribution selected.
These variables can be assigned in the pre_tasks
definition of the
section: How to include the setup_dbt2_driver
role in your Playbook.
