debops-padlock
script has been modified to support "lock" and "unlock" sub-commands and it is now used by the padlock wrapper script to lock and unlock EncFS-encrypted secret directory. [htgoebel]debops
script can now read configuration from several files:/etc/debops.cfg $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/debops.cfg (defaults to ~/etc/xdg/debops.cfg) $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/debops.cfg (defaults to ~/.config/debops.cfg) ./.debops.cfg
Configuration options from different files are merged together. [htgoebel]
Scripts are now tested on Travis-CI using nosetests. [drybjed]
Released: 2014-12-14
- Scripts are completely rewritten in Python by Hartmut Goebel. This saves a lot of code allows for more fertile future changes.
Notable changed related to the shell-version are:
- Playbooks are no longer searched in
/usr/local/share/debops
nor in/usr/share/debops
. We assume DebOps is used from a user account, so installing playbooks globally is not the common case. - Sourcing
.debops.cfg
is no longer supported,.debops.cfg
now is assumed to be an ini-file. - The
ansible_config_hook
(which was undocumented anyway) is gone. Instead you can put sections[ansible ...]
into.debops.cfg
which will go intoansible.cfg
. This allows for easy adding e.g. a[paramiko]
section to ansible.cfg. - The padlock-script is no longer used to decide if secrets are encrypted. This is now done by testing for the encrypted keyfile and the encrypted encfs-config.
- The padlock script still exists and has been simplified a lot. Most functionality has been moved into the DebOps python library.
- DebOps mailing list has been moved to groups.io.
- all role documentation from their readme files has been moved to separate documentation page, role README files will be converted to more standardized format, and will use Markdown again, since Ansible Galaxy does not support reStructuredText.
debops
script will automatically generate customansible.cfg
configuration file in project main directory. This file will be used to enable custom set of role and plugin paths, which allows for example to reorganize playbooks into subdirectories, "overwrite" upstream role with local ones via symlinks and enables support for custom Ansible plugins in all playbooks and roles.- DebOps roles will be now cloned in different directory, they are moved from
debops-playbooks/playbooks/roles/
todebops-playbooks/roles/
(one directory up). This allows to overwrite upstream DebOps roles with local modified ones, which enables easy development or customization when needed. debops
script gains even more integration with DebOps project directory. You can put your custom playbooks inplaybooks/
oransible/playbooks/
directories and access them by specifying name of a playbook as first argument ofdebops
script. Roles can be put inroles/
andansible/roles/
directories and Ansible will automatically look for them there. Various plugins can also be put in their respectiveansible/*_plugins/
directories.
- DebOps documentation website has been opened to keep documentation in one
easily searchable place. It's based on ReadTheDocs. All documentation
already written has been moved from
debops/debops
repository to the new website, more to come.
- New script has been added,
debops-defaults
. It can be used to easily work with defaults files present in all roles - by default it "aggregates" all of them into one stream and sends it toview
command usingSTDOUT
. By specifying list of roles on the command line you can select which role defaults are aggregated, and by redirecting the script to a file or a command you can manipulate it (for example grep for a string).
debops.secret
main directory has been changed frominventory.secret
tosecret
(the feature that used name of the Ansible inventory as the prefix for secret directory has been dropped, because secrets are stored inside project directory). Because of that,debops*
scripts are updated to support new naming scheme.- If you use
debops.secret
role or DebOps playbooks in general, you will need to rename your current plaintext and encrypted directories.inventory.secret
becomessecret
.encfs.inventory.secret
becomes.encfs.secret
- All
debops*
scripts have been updated with new functions and fixed logic. You can now run DebOps commands inside project subdirectories instead of just at the root of the project directory. debops
script now recognizes encrypted secret directories created bydebops-padlock
and automatically opens them before Ansible playbook run, and closes them afterwards.debops-init
will check if you try to create project directory in another project and if so, will politely refuse your request.
- New
debops-padlock
script, which is a companion Bash script to debops.secret role. It can be used to optionally encrypt secret directory using EncFS and GnuPG keys. Maindebops
script will be able to recognize these encrypted directories and properly open/close them foransible-playbook
runs.
- Makefile has been rewritten and streamlined.
make install
will install all scripts, inventory skeleton and playbooks + roles in a system-wide location (by default,/usr/local
) andmake clean
will remove installed files. - Many different changes in the documentation in preparation of the release. Role README files will use new flat-style buttons.
- Huge update of the
debops-install
script, which has been renamed todebops-update
and can now both install and update playbooks and roles automatically, either in the user home directory at$HOME/.local/share/debops
or in the current directory, or a directory specified as a parameter for the script.
- DebOps project repositories can now be easily backed up using a Bash script
- New main scripts:
debops
- runansible-playbook
with custom argumentsdebops-task
- runansible
with custom arguments
- First iteration of the
debops-install
script. - First iteration of the
debops-init
script.
We are starting the main project repository anew! The old ginas/ginas
repository will be preserved for historic reasons as debops/ginas
after main
project gets up to speed. For now, if you want to play with DebOps, I suggest
heading to ginas repository and cloning that
instead. That should be fixed soon though, when new role cloning code takes
shape.
