Installing Ansible on Fedora CoreOS

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Ansible on the latest version of Fedora CoreOS.

First, we need to ensure that our system is up to date by running:

sudo rpm-ostree update

Once the system is up to date, we can proceed with the installation of Ansible.

Step 1 - Install Python on Fedora CoreOS

Ansible is written in Python, so we need to ensure that Python is installed on our system. By default, most Fedora CoreOS versions come with Python pre-installed. To check if Python is installed, run the following command:

python --version

If Python is not installed on your system, you can install it using the following command:

sudo rpm-ostree install python3

Step 2 - Install Ansible

Now that we have Python installed, we can proceed to install Ansible. The recommended way of installing Ansible on a Fedora CoreOS system is via the pip package manager.

First, we need to ensure that pip is installed on our system. Run the following command to install pip:

sudo rpm-ostree install python3-pip

Once pip is installed, we can use it to install Ansible. Run the following command to install Ansible:

sudo pip install ansible

This will download and install the latest version of Ansible.

Step 3 - Verify the installation

We can verify if Ansible is installed correctly by running the following command:

ansible --version

This will display the version of Ansible that is installed on your system.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Ansible on your Fedora CoreOS system. You can now use Ansible to automate your IT 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!
