How to use

Standalone

• Git clone or git fork this project
• Setup vagrant, libvirtd. There is an example on scripts/vagrant_ansible_setup.sh for debian system on how to do that.
• Copy servers.yml.dist to settings.yml
• Copy vagrant-ansible-provision.conf.rb.dist to vagrant-ansible-provision.conf.rb and configure it
• Run vagrant up

Run as a submodule

• Add this project as a submodule
• Run git submodule init'
• cd vagrant-ansible && create_vagrant_ansible_env.sh
• cd ../vagrant
• Configure your labs and servers configuration in ../vagrant folder
• Add multiple labs by running create_vagrant_ansible_env.sh labname in the vagrant folder
• Update with git submodule update --recursive --remote

All variables declared in servers.yml can be accessed by ansible variable ANSIBLE_EXTRA_VARS[inventory_hostname]['variable_name'] For example to access the variable is_provisioned which is set to true if the vm is already provisioned you can use ANSIBLE_EXTRA_VARS[inventory_hostname]['is_provisioned'] from your ansible task.

Look in servers.yml.sample for examples of usage. Most of vagrant-libvirt configuration options can be changed in the servers.yml file.
