vv-p/selenoid-systemd

Install and run selenoid and selenoid-ui on a single host with ansible and systemd

Selenoid with Systemd and Ansible

Before you start

Selenoid doesn't download docker images by himself, so this playbook does it. Therefore you need to install docker-py python package before running it (I don't know how is you manage your python modules, so I don't want to install something in unusual way in your environment). Look at the docker_image ansible module documentation to more information about how this playbook manage docker images.

How to install it ?

You can install this role with ansible-galaxy:

ansible-galaxy install -c vv-p.selenoid-systemd -p ./

Or just download it with git as usual:

git clone https://github.com/vv-p/selenoid-systemd.git

How to use it ?

Just create your own playbook file, check environment variables in defaults/main.yml and run:

cat > selenoid.yml << EOF
---
- hosts: selenoid

  roles:
    - selenoid-systemd
EOF
ansible-playbook -b -i hosts selenoid.yml
