Description:

orchestratorlso 1.0.3

LSO: an API that allows for remotely executing Ansible playbooks.
Code documentation
Code documentation can be found at https://workfloworchestrator.org/lso
Quick start
This is a quick setup guide for running on your local machine.
As a Docker container
To run LSO as a Docker container, build an image using the Dockerfile.example as an example. Be sure to update
requirements.txt and ansible-galaxy-requirements.yaml accordingly, depending on your specific Ansible collection and
-role needs.
Use the Docker image to then spin up an environment. An example Docker compose file is presented below:
services:
lso:
image: my-lso:latest
environment:
SETTINGS_FILENAME: /app/config.json
ANSIBLE_ROLES_PATH: /app/lso/ansible_roles
volumes:
- "/home/user/config.json:/app/config.json:ro"
- "/home/user/ansible_inventory:/opt/ansible_inventory:ro"
- "~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub:/root/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub:ro"
- "~/.ssh/id_ed25519:/root/.ssh/id_ed25519:ro"

This will expose the API on port 8000. The container requires some more files to be mounted:

A config.json that references to the location where the Ansible playbooks are stored inside the container.
An Ansible inventory for all host and group variables that are used in the playbooks
A public/private key pair for SSH authentication on external machines that are targeted by Ansible playbooks.
Any Ansible-specific configuration (such as collections_path, roles_path, etc.) should be set using
environment variables. ANSIBLE_ROLES_PATH is given as an example in the Docker compose snippet above.

Install the module
As an alternative, below are a set of instructions for installing and running LSO directly on a machine.
One of these should be what you're looking for:

Install the latest release

python3 -m venv my-venv-directory
. my-venv-directory/bin/activate

pip install orchestrator-lso

Install the source code

git clone https://github.com/workfloworchestrator/lso.git && cd lso
python3 -m venv my-venv-directory
. my-venv-directory/bin/activate

pip install flit
flit install --deps production

# Or, for the full development environment
flit install --deps develop

Running the app

Create a settings file, see config.json.example for an example.
If necessary, set the environment variable ANSIBLE_HOME to a custom path.
Run the app like this (app.py starts the server on port 44444):

SETTINGS_FILENAME=/absolute/path/to/config.json python -m lso.app
