Content in this folder is +placed on installer packaging time and can be modified by user on target +server where installer package is installed. + +## Application configuration + +All application related configuration variables are defined in file +`application_configuration.yml` in this folder. The name of configuration file +does not matter but it must be given to ansible run as command line variable file. + +Example: +``` +./run_playbook.sh application.yml -i application/hosts.yml -e @application/application_configuration.yml +``` + +## Application Helm charts + +Application helm charts must be available on infra node before application playbook is executed. +That folder on infra node is specified within `app_helm_charts_infra_directory` variable. + +Helm charts folder name is configured on `application_configuration.yml` file +with `app_helm_charts_directory` variable - it is the path on remote infrastructure server. + +Example: +``` +app_helm_charts_directory: /opt/application/helm_charts +``` + +It is expected that helm charts are available from packaging script as a part of installer SW package. +Such source directory of helm charts is specified by `app_helm_charts_install_directory` variable + +Example: +``` +app_helm_charts_install_directory: ansible/application/helm_charts/kubernetes +``` + +## Application specific roles + +Installer supports optional custom pre and post install roles. Custom roles' code folders +need to be placed to this directory and name of those folders are configured in +application.yml with variable `application_pre_install_role` and `application_post_install_role`. + +Example: +``` +application_pre_install_role: "{{ project_configuration }}-patch-role" +``` + + +## Inventory hosts + +Ansible inventory file is least application specific but in practice example +inventory file in git ansible/inventory/hosts.yml cannot be directly used anyway +and at least ip addresses need to be changed according to target servers after +installer installation and before starting installer execution. + +So it's better to place also hosts.yml to this application directory and edit it here. |
