# Raspberry Pi Ansible
Glenn K. Lockwood, August 2017
## Introduction
This is an Ansible configuration that configures a fresh Raspbian installation
on Raspberry Pi. This is very much a work in progress and not intended to be
used by anyone but me.
## Bootstrapping on Raspbian
If you want to use these playbooks to make a Raspberry Pi self-configure,
install Ansible by doing the following:
7 years ago
$ pip install --user ansible
$ ssh-keygen
$ ssh-copy-id localhost
7 years ago
If not bootstrapping from the Raspberry Pi itself, you can instead do
$ ssh-copy-id pi@raspberrypi
and authenticate using the default `raspberry` password. This will enable
key-based authentication to the remote Raspberry Pi to be configured.
You can ensure that Ansible is able to configure using the following:
$ ansible -i hosts all -m ping
You can also ensure that authentication also works.
$ ansible -i hosts -u pi --sudo-user root all -a "/usr/bin/id -u"
## Running the Playbook
7 years ago
This playbook will deactivate password authentication for the `pi` user since
it assumes that you have key-based authentication configured _before_ the
playbook is executed. Be sure that is the case or you may be locked out of
your Raspberry Pi altogether.
Then run the playbook:
$ ansible-playbook --inventory-file hosts --limit cloverfield --user pi --sudo site.yml
7 years ago
or
7 years ago
$ ansible-playbook -i hosts -l clovermine -u pi -s site.yml
7 years ago
Raspbian should allow the `pi` user to sudo without a password. If not, run
using `--ask-become-pass` (or `-K`) and enter the sudo password (default would
be `raspberry`) for the remote user (`pi`).
