Configuration

...

:

To prepare a new platform, there are some directory and files to prepare:

• group_vars/

...

inventory/new

To prepare eduTEAMS platform, you must copy the following directories. Replace "new" with the name that was chosen for the platform. 

group_vars/EXAMPLE

inventory/EXAMPLE

After new platform is ready, you have to modify some files:

FILE: group_vars/EXAMPLE/secrets.yml

Secrets contains all important data. After changing the fields, you must encrypt it through ansible-vault

COMMAND: ansible-vault encrypt group_vars/EXAMPLE/secrets.yml

You must provide a new password (PASSWORD)

DIRECTORY: group/vars/EXAMPLE/logos

Those directory contains all static images

DIRECTORY: group/vars/EXAMPLE/certs

Add all certificates files inside this directory (It is recommended to encrypt all those files with ansible-vault)

inventory/EXAMPLE/teip.yml

Add idhub URL or IP address, then add the platform name.

playbook/teipservers.yml

• <group_name>/secrets.yml: this file should be encrypted by ansible-vault. 
• inventory/<group_name>/teip.yml: this file contains identity hub IP address.
• playbook/teipservers.yml: 
• group_vars/<group_name>/certs/: This directory must keep all certificates and keys
• group_vars/<group_name>/logos/: This directory must keep all idp logos
