# 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:
# pip install --user ansible
# ssh-keygen
# ssh-copy-id localhost
Note that `apt-get install ansible` is not a great idea because it's almost
certainly out of date, and the documentation online will talk about mainline
features that don't exist in the distro-provided version.
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
Authentication will be an issue since the configuration disables the default
user (`pi`) and adds new privileged users. This means that you will probably
have to specify different `--sudo-user` options depending on how far into the
configuration you got. For example, assuming the `pi` user still exists,
$ ansible-playbook --inventory-file hosts --limit clovermine --ask-sudo-pass --user pi --sudo site.yml
You will be asked for the sudo password, which is the same as `pi`'s password
(which defaults to `raspberry`). Once the users are set up and `pi` is no
longer a valid user.
$ ansible-playbook -i hosts -l clovermine -K -s -U glock site.yml
