This repository contains all exercise descriptions for my Ansible Workshop, utilizing the Red Hat demo environment. The Workshop is inspired by the Red Hat Training course for Ansible, but adds additional exercises and more descriptions for a multi-day workshop. The exercises are build with MkDocs and published to Github pages. A Dockerfile is included to build a container image which publishes the exercises as a Webserver.
During a Workshop, the page published to Github pages was not accessible by the attendees because it was blocked by firewall policies. In that case, deploy the container with the exercises on a host in the lab environment. Use node2, as this one is accessible from the internet on Port 8080.
SSH to node2, install git and podman:
sudo dnf install -y @container-tools gitClone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/TimGrt/Ansible-Workshop-Exercises.gitChange into the cloned directory and build the container image:
podman build -t ansible-workshop-exercises .Run a container from the previously build image, the webserver is available at Port 8080:
podman run -d -p 8080:80/tcp --name workshop ansible-workshop-exercisesGet the public IP address of node2 from the lab inventory, suffix with Port 8080 and open the exercises in the browser.
NOTE: During the exercises, Apache is started on node2 on Port 8080. If you intend to do the exercises for demonstration purposes, this will fail as the Port is occupied.
For the sake of completion, here is how to build and run everything with Docker. Build the container image:
docker build -t ansible-workshop-exercises .Run a container from the previously build image, the webserver is available at Port 8080:
docker run -d -p 8080:80/tcp --name workshop ansible-workshop-exercisesWe document our Coding Guidelines in the Contributing Guidelines, this document also includes instructions on how the setup a development environment.
