Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the role for your Ansible Playbook. Once launched, it will install Consul in a Debian system.

Prerequisities

Ansible 4.x.x version installed. Inventory destination should be a Debian environment.

Rsyslog needs should be installed. It can be done with this role.

For testing purposes, Molecule with Docker as driver.

Installing

Create or add to your roles dependency file (e.g requirements.yml):

- src: idealista.consul_role
  version: 1.7.2
  name: consul

Install the role with ansible-galaxy command:

ansible-galaxy install -p roles -r requirements.yml -f

Use in a playbook:

---
- hosts: someserver
  roles:
    - consul

Usage

Look to the defaults properties file (defaults/main.yml) to see the possible configuration properties. Logging uses rsyslog by default. It can be changed by overriding the consul_service_log_output variable. It can be changed to journal or other options seen at the StandardOutput and StandardError sections in:

• Debian 9 systemd docs
• Debian 10 and 11 systemd docs
