DebOps is an open-source project designed to help you easily manage configurations for your servers, regardless of their location or operating system. It uses Ansible as its engine and provides multiple features like automated security updates, configuration management, and system administration.
In this tutorial, we will guide you step by step through the process of installing DebOps on Void Linux.
Before we begin, you need to ensure:
To install DebOps, you need to have some dependencies set up on your system.
xbps-install --update
xbps-install ansible git python3
Now that we have installed the dependencies, we can proceed to install DebOps.
git clone https://github.com/debops/debops.git /etc/debops
Keep in mind, we're cloning to /etc/debops to follow the project's recommended approach.
cd /etc/debops
./debops/bootstrap/bootstrap.sh
The script will start by asking for your configuration settings. Here, you can set your preferred options; if you're unsure, you can leave the defaults as is.
Once you have made your configuration choices, the script starts pulling the necessary modules and roles. This can take a while, depending on the speed of your network.
At this point, you're all set up! You can now begin managing your configurations using DebOps.
If you encounter errors during the installation, try the following:
