Lagos DevOps workshop Ansible Lesson 1

[brucellino]

the tasks for the first lesson are :

• Check facts on all hosts
  e.g. ansible all -i inventory -m setup
• Copy a file
• Install nginx and add a user
• Clone a git repo to a path
• Ensure that httpd is present and started
• Perform background operations, with polling

I have been explicitly vague on how to perform these tasks. You need to decide which Ansible module to use, with which parameters, for each task.
Write your tasks in a playbook, with a single play.

I need a little bit of clarification. For this lesson are we to run it on the local host or the lagos-all group?

how do I search in the ansible (cli) documentation the parameter for using sudo

how do I search in the ansible (cli) documentation the parameter for using sudo

this parameter belongs to the task, not the module. The ansible cli documentation refers to the modules - so you should check the ansible documentation on getting started or running ad-hoc commands web pages.

Running ansible --help or ansible-playbook --help will also tell you how to pass these parameters to the plays.
