DebOps is an extensible and modular approach for deploying and managing servers based on Debian GNU/Linux distribution. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install DebOps on Debian Latest.
Before you begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
DebOps requires an updated system with the latest packages. To update your system, run the following commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
DebOps is built on Ansible, a configuration management tool that automates software deployment, configuration, and management. To install Ansible, run the following command:
sudo apt-get install ansible -y
Now, you can install the DebOps roles and playbooks using the following command:
ansible-galaxy install debops.debops
This command will install all the DebOps roles and playbooks that are required for the DebOps deployment.
To start using DebOps, you have to create an inventory file that will define the hosts and groups of servers that you want to manage.
For example, create a file named inventory in your home directory and add the following content:
[debops_all_hosts]
your_server_ip_address
Replace your_server_ip_address with the IP address of your server.
To deploy DebOps on your server, run the following command:
ansible-playbook -i ~/inventory /etc/ansible/roles/debops.debops/playbooks/site.yml
This command will run the DebOps playbook and configure your server according to the configuration defined in the playbook.
In this tutorial, we showed you how to install DebOps on Debian Latest. You can now use DebOps to manage and configure your server infrastructure.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
