StackHPC release automation

Release train documentation is available at https://stackhpc.github.io/stackhpc-release-train/.

On Ubuntu:

sudo apt update sudo apt -y install python3-venv 

Then create a virtual environment and install Python and Ansible dependencies:

python3 -m venv venv source venv/bin/activate pip install -U pip pip install -r requirements.txt ansible-galaxy collection install -r requirements.yml -p ansible/collections 

These playbooks may interact with the public Pulp server, ark.stackhpc.com, as well as a private one running on SMS lab, pulp-server.internal.sms-cloud.

You may wish to install a Pulp CLI for interactive use, although this is not required to run the playbooks:

sudo dnf -y install python3-pip 

On Ubuntu:

sudo apt -y install python3-pip 

Then:

pip3 install pulp-cli[pygments] --user pulp config create --username admin --base-url http://<pulp server>:8080 --password <password> pulp status 

If using Debian repositories,

pip3 install pulp-cli-deb --user 

Set the Ansible Vault password:

export ANSIBLE_VAULT_PASSWORD_FILE=/path/to/vault/password 

Playbooks may then be run as follows:

ansible-playbook -i ansible/inventory ansible/<playbook> 

Information on the different playbooks is available in the release train documentation.
