Vagrant, Docker, Ansible-Examples for Session F15 at IDUG 2023 EMEA

You don't have to use all components. If you like running your own VM or on real hardware, choose the parts you need.

• Edit Vagrantfile to your needs. Then start the vm with

vagrant up

• Stop or hibernate current vm

vagrant halt
vagrant suspend

• Completely remove the current vm

vagrant destroy

• ssh to the VM (user: vagrant pw: vagrant)
• create a working directory and copy the contents from the git-repository there (or checkout the repo again)

mkdir idug_workdir
cd idug_workdir
cp -r /vagrant/idug23_ansible_dev/* .

• Build the ubuntu-jammy-Image (edit Dockerfile if needed)

cd docker/ubuntu-jammy
./createImage.sh

• Build the ubuntu-db2-Image
  • Copy a Db2 installation image for linux to the Windows-Directory, where your Vagrantfile sits. The file should be seen in the /vagrant-Directory on your Linux vm.
  • Edit the Dockerfile to match the filename of your installation image
  • Edit the createImage.sh - File to match the filename of your installation image
  • Create Docker-Image (this takes a while)

  ./createImage.sh

• cd to the tools-Directory

cd ../../tools

• run init_db2_containers.sh

./init_db2_containers.sh

• run init_knownhosts.sh

./init_knownhosts.sh db2hosts.txt

The key-error during the live demo at IDUG Prague was simply caused by existing keys from a previous installation in the file /home/vagrant/.ssh/known_hosts. Now, this keys are removed first. If you still get this error, mmove he known_hosts-file away and run the script again.

The script init_knownhosts.sh is only needed if you had changes done to your Docker-image.The RSA-Signature of the containers will not change, even if you destroy (remove) the containers as long as you use the same docker image or the next start.

• Test ssh-connection for the first container

ssh -l root 172.20.0.2

• cd to the ansible directory cd ../ansible
• Run the 03_db2_instance_and_sample.yml playbook to create the db2inst1 instance and the Sample-Database on all targets

ansible-playbook 03_db2_instance_and_sample.yml -i inventory/ -l db2server

• you can always start/stop/remove containers with the Docker-Plugin from VSC
• when you start new containers, you don't need to initialize known_hosts again, unless the Docker-Image has changed its signature
• HAVE FUN!
