Deployment scripts for SmartHome services.

Install ansbile: [sudo] pip install ansible and check that ansible-playbook got added to your $PATH.

Then put a ssh keyfile with read access to the following repositories on GitHub at the path keys/smarthome-services{.pub} (it will also be the admin user ssh key):

• smart-home/smarthome-hub-sync
• smart-home/smart-home-config
• smart-home/smarthome-deployment
• smart-home/smarthome-deployment-blobs

And one with write access to the remote data endpoint at the path keys/smarthome-remote-key.

NOTE: these playbooks have been tested with passwordless keyfile access to both GitHub and EC2. They might get stuck with password prompts. Consider using ssh-agent.

First you will need to get a ACCESS_KEY and a SECRET_KEY for your account and set them as environment variables.

Ansible is a bit quirky and requires two different names for each values.

My suggestion is to create a ~/.aws/env.sh file like this

export AWS_ACCESS_KEY=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
export AWS_SECRET_KEY=YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
export EC2_REGION=us-east-1

and import it with . ~/.aws/env.sh.

Then, you will need to [sudo] pip install boto.

To launch a new instance first create an appropriate keypair and security group from the AWS Console.

Then, launch a new instance with

ansible-playbook -i inventory.ini new_ec2.yml --extra-vars "keypair_name=KEYPAIR security_group=GROUP"

This will create a new t1.micro instance in us-east-1, fully configured, it will start syncing immediately.

You can login as the user admin with the keypair you specified.

For this you will need the EC2 inventory plugin.

Download it as follows

wget https://raw.github.com/ansible/ansible/devel/plugins/inventory/ec2.ini
wget https://raw.github.com/ansible/ansible/devel/plugins/inventory/ec2.py
chmod +x ec2.py

Then simply run

ansible-playbook -i ec2.py update_ec2.yml

This will get all the tagged hub instances in your account to the current version of the playbook.

System requirements:

• installed Raspbian
• [recommended] expanded root partition

Add the RPi IP(s) to inventory.ini like this

[raspberrypi]
192.168.1.43

For the first deploy you will need sshpass for not typing in the default password interactively. OS X users can install it with

brew install https://gist.githubusercontent.com/stefanoverna/1513663/raw/3e98bf9e03feb7e31eeddcd08f89ca86163a376d/sshpass.rb

Then use this command

sshpass -p raspberry ansible-playbook -k -i inventory.ini rpi.yml

After the first deploy, you can update with simply

ansible-playbook -i inventory.ini rpi.yml

You can specify a custom ~/.hub_id by adding the following argument to any call of ansible-playbook

--extra-vars="user_hub_id=aa71379e-c92c-4891-8453-0003b1f9d9ef"

Required format is [a-z0-9-]+.
