This repository holds the specific playbooks required to manage the Open edX installation at NAU.
This repository uses 2 different other repositories.
The configuration
is the Open edX upstream that install the Open edX old way of deployment using Ansible.
The secure-nau-data
repository is the private NAU repository where the keys and passwords are stored,
on per environment.
Commands to clone the dependencies:
git clone -b nau/nutmeg.master https://github.com/fccn/configuration.git configuration
git clone -b master [email protected]:fccn/secure-nau-data.git nau-data
git clone -b master [email protected]:fccn/nau_playbooks.git nau_playbooks
Because of the old version of Open edX that we use on NAU, we need to use the older Python 3.8 version.
So to execute the deployment process on newer Debian based Operating System like Ubuntu,
we need to add the additional deadsnakes
Personal Package Archives (PPA) and
install the older Python 3.8 version.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa
sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3.8 python3.8-dev python3.8-venv python3.8-distutils
To install the pip
on the older Python version 3.8, run:
wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
python3.8 get-pip.py
Some python pip dependencies or some ansible modules also require some operating system packages.
sudo apt install -y build-essential software-properties-common python3-software-properties curl git libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev libfreetype6-dev python3-pip python3-apt python3-dev tree libmysqlclient-dev libssl-dev libffi-dev python3-minimal
python3.8 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
ansible-galaxy install -p vendor/roles -r requirements.yml
To run an ansible playbook, like for example the deploy.yml
playbook, use a similar command:
ansible-playbook -i nau-data/envs/development/hosts.ini deploy.yml --limit XPTO
