Help needed in setting up OOD

[sivarooney]

Hi,

I am not sure how to run/start the OOD configurations using the playbook.

Is there any document or instructions for configuring the OOD from scratch.

Any help is really appreciated. Thanks.

Do you need help with ansible in general or this role specifically?

To get started all you need is the inventory file that has the host you want to install on. You can run the playbook against the host without any extra variables to install the default OOD. Then after the default installation has taken place, you can start to add extra variables to the command. If that doesn't click right off the bat, then maybe some ansible docs/getting started docs are more in order (I can lookup some if you need).

@johrstrom thanks for the reply

I have downloaded the role from galaxy, could you please help with an example playbook for the installation.

I've created this repository with minimal files as way to get you started.

Two things you'll need to do to get it running at your site

• create a real/valid inventory.ini file - this file defines all the hosts you're running ansible against. They're named sections so you could have something like ondemand-dev and ondemand-production to differentiate between different environments. Then in the playbook file - playbook.yml - you reference which host group you want to run the playbook against.
• create a real/valid extra_vars.yml file. This file defines all the variables that would be specific to your site.

Hope that helps!
