IRMA Ansible Provisioning

IRMA platform is easily installed thanks to a set of ansible roles and playbooks. It will allow you to build, install or maintain different setups.

• First, clone this repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/quarkslab/irma-ansible

There are 3 different types of IRMA setup:

• Testing IRMA, the easiest way (everything in one vm)
• Production environment (install on physical servers)
• Development environment (everything in one vm with sources rsync'd between host and vm)

Common requirements

• Ansible 1.8 or higher;

Dependencies are available via Ansible Galaxy repository. Installation has been made easy using:

$ ansible-galaxy install -r ansible-requirements.yml # --force if you’ve already installed it

Testing IRMA, the easiest way

Everything will be installed in the same virtual machine named brain.irma.

Requirements

• Vagrant 1.8 or higher has to be installed
• As the installation work only for Virtualbox, you’ll need to install it

Setup

Simply run in the Vagrantfile directory:

$ vagrant up

Vagrant will launch a VM and install IRMA on it. It can take a while (from 15 to 30 min) depending on the amount of RAM you have on your computer and the hard disk drive I/O speed.

IRMA allinone interface is available at http://172.16.1.30.

Note: The basebox used in this project is provided by Quarkslab. The code source to build it is here.

Useful commands

some useful commands with vagrant:

$ vagrant ssh brain.irma       # login through ssh
$ vagrant halt brain.irma      # shutdown the machine
$ vagrant reload brain.irma    # restart the machine
$ vagrant up brain.irma        # start the machine
$ vagrant destroy brain.irma   # delete the machine

for advanced usage of vagrant be sure to check extras

Experimental support for Windows provisioning

Generate Windows base box

$ git clone https://github.com/boxcutter/windows
$ cd windows
$ make virtualbox/eval-win8x64-enterprise

Adding to Vagrant boxes

$ vagrant box add --name eval-win8x64-enterprise box/virtualbox/eval-win8x64-enterprise*.box

Creating an instance of the base box

$ vagrant up

Provisioning with ansible

$ sudo pip install pywinrm
$ ansible-playbook -i inventory playbooks/playbook.yml -u vagrant -k
