Usage

You may wish to configure a server with multiple instances of the NoCloud Metadata server, such as separating instances per VLAN that serve different server types. The example below demonstrates such a configuration.

name: Configure NoCloud Metadata Server
hosts: your.host.name
become: true
tasks:
- name: Install NMS server binary
  include_role:
    name: jalseth.nocloud_metadata_server
  vars:
    nocloud_metadata_server_enable_systemd: false
    nocloud_metadata_server_config: {}

- name: Configure NMS instances
  include_role:
    name: jalseth.nocloud_metadata_server
  vars:
    nocloud_metadata_server_systemd_service_name: "nocloud-metadata-server-{{ nms.name }}"
    nocloud_metadata_server_systemd_service_file_path: "/lib/systemd/system/nocloud-metadata-server-{{ nms.name}}.service"
    nocloud_metadata_server_config_file_path: "/etc/nocloud-metadata-server-{{ nms.name }}.yaml"
    nocloud_metadata_server_config: "{{ nms.config }}"
  with_items:
  - name: vlan123
    config:
      listenAddress: "10.10.123.2"
      matchPatterns: ["123"]
      instanceConfig:
        hostname: onetwothree
        enableInstanceIDSuffix: true
        enableHostnameSuffix: true
  - name: vlan234
    config:
      listenAddress: "10.10.234.2"
      matchPatterns: ["234"]
      instanceConfig:
        hostname: twothreefour
        enableInstanceIDSuffix: true
        enableHostnameSuffix: true

    loop_var: nms
