Critical

  • gftphost* variables renamed to globushost*
  • Added variables generate_* which are required to be specified if the user would like esgf-ansible to generate required files (keys/certs) for the respective service
  • Key, certificate, and other file paths specified in each host_vars/[hostname].yml file are now required to be on the managed machine, rather than the control machine
  • Added requirements to more reliably manage keys/certifcates, users are now required to specify either the file paths as described in the previous bullet or the respective generate_* variable
  • Added admin_pass variable and requirement for either the /esg/config/.esgf_pass file to be present on the Node or the admin_pass variable to be specified

Info

  • New sample files within the host_vars/ directory to help with all the new changes above
  • A new tag, publisher, has been added to the install.yml playbook to easily repeat the esg-publisher setup steps in the event of failure
  • No longer managing SELinux state
  • If setting up firewalld on CentOS 7, and it was not previously installed and enabled, a reboot will be required after installing and enabling
  • Not deploying monitoring software if neither of the prometheus_* variables are specified

A number of reported bugs have been resolved and fragile setup steps were made more resilient.
