Chapter 6. Installing containerized Ansible Automation Platform

Run the install playbook to install containerized Ansible Automation Platform after preparing the Red Hat Enterprise Linux host, downloading the installation program, and configuring the inventory file.

Prerequisites

Procedure

  1. Go to the installation directory on your Red Hat Enterprise Linux host.

  2. Run the install playbook: 

    ansible-playbook -i <inventory_file_name> ansible.containerized_installer.install
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

    For example: 

    ansible-playbook -i inventory ansible.containerized_installer.install
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

    You can add additional parameters to the installation command as needed: 

    ansible-playbook -i <inventory_file_name> -e @<vault_file_name> --ask-vault-pass -K -v ansible.containerized_installer.install
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

    For example: 

    ansible-playbook -i inventory -e @vault.yml --ask-vault-pass -K -v  ansible.containerized_installer.install
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    • -i <inventory_file_name> - The inventory file to use for the installation.
    • -e @<vault_file_name> --ask-vault-pass - (Optional) If you are using a vault to store sensitive variables, add this to the installation command.
    • -K - (Optional) If your privilege escalation (becoming root) requires you to enter a password, add this to the installation command. You are then prompted for the BECOME password.
    • -v - (Optional) You can use increasing verbosity, up to 4 (-vvvv) to see installation process details. This can significantly increase installation time. Use it only as needed or when requested by Red Hat support.

Verification

  • After the installation completes, verify that you can access Ansible Automation Platform which is available by default at the following URL: 

    https://<gateway_node>:443
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  • Log in as the admin user with the credentials you created for gateway_admin_username and gateway_admin_password.

  • The default ports and protocols used for Ansible Automation Platform are 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS). You can customize the ports with the following variables: 

    envoy_http_port=80
envoy_https_port=443
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  • If you want to disable HTTPS, set envoy_disable_https to true: 

    envoy_disable_https: true
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
