How to Install DebOps on Manjaro

DebOps is an open-source collection of Ansible playbooks that helps system administrators to automate the setup and maintenance of their infrastructure. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing DebOps on Manjaro.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, please make sure you have the following prerequisites:

Step 1: Clone the DebOps Repository

To install DebOps on Manjaro, we first need to clone the DebOps repository using Git. Open your terminal and execute the following command:

git clone https://github.com/debops/debops.git /etc/ansible/debops

This will create a 'debops' directory in the '/etc/ansible/' directory, which contains all of the DebOps files.

Step 2: Install DebOps Dependencies

Next, we need to install the dependencies required by DebOps. In your terminal, execute the following command to install the required dependencies:

sudo pacman -S ruby python-pip python-jinja python-netaddr python-psycopg2 python-prettytable python-markupsafe

Step 3: Update Ansible Configuration

Now, we need to update the Ansible configuration to include the DebOps roles. Open your terminal and execute the following command to open the '/etc/ansible/ansible.cfg' file:

sudo nano /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg

Add the following line to the end of the file:

ansible_roles_path = /etc/ansible/debops/ansible/roles

Save the file and exit.

Step 4: Configure DebOps

DebOps provides a 'debops' command-line tool that helps configuring the DebOps installation. Execute the following command to configure DebOps:

sudo debops

The command will guide you through the configuration process, which includes setting up the SSH key and default accounts.

Step 5: Verify DebOps Installation

Finally, we can verify the installation of DebOps using the following command:

sudo debops --check

This command will run a "check" mode, which verifies the configuration and checks for any missing dependencies.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed DebOps on Manjaro.
