After you prepare the {RHEL} host, download {PlatformNameShort}, and configure the inventory file, run the install playbook to install containerized {PlatformNameShort}.
You have done the following:
-
Logged in to the {RHEL} host as your non-root user
-
Go to the installation directory on your {RHEL} host.
-
Run the
installplaybook:ansible-playbook -i <inventory_file_name> ansible.containerized_installer.install
For example:
ansible-playbook -i inventory ansible.containerized_installer.install
You can add additional parameters to the installation command as needed:
ansible-playbook -i <inventory_file_name> -e @<vault_file_name> --ask-vault-pass -K -v ansible.containerized_installer.install
For example:
ansible-playbook -i inventory -e @vault.yml --ask-vault-pass -K -v ansible.containerized_installer.install
-
-i <inventory_file_name>- The inventory file to use for the installation. -
-e @<vault_file_name> --ask-vault-pass- (Optional) If you are using a vault to store sensitive variables, add this to the installation command. -
-K- (Optional) If your privilege escalation requires you to enter a password, add this to the installation command. You are then prompted for the BECOME password. -
-v- (Optional) You can use increasing verbosity, up to 4 v’s (-vvvv) to see the details of the installation process. However, it is important to note that this can significantly increase installation time, so use it only as needed or requested by Red Hat support.
