Aria Automation supports integration with Ansible Open Source configuration management as well as with Ansible Automation Platform, fomerly Ansible Tower. After configuring an integration, we can add Ansible components to new or existing deployments from the cloud template editor.
This post demonstrates how to setup Ansible Open Source integration and how to use it in a cloud template.
On my Debian mail server and web server, I’m using Let’s Encrypt SSL certificates to provide secure communication between clients and my mail and web services.
In this article, I’ll describe how to setup an automatic SSL certificate renewal solution.
In the AWS EC2 console navigate to EC2 > Volumes and select the particular volume. Then select Modify volume from the Actions menu.
Set the new size and click Modify.
Since we are increasing the size of the volume, we must extend the file system to the new size of the volume. We can only do this when the volume enters the optimizing state. The modification might take a few minutes to complete.
Once the modification is completed, we log into the instance via SSH and resize the corresponding device.
Let’s verify the file system and type of the volume (in our example it is the root file system):
admin@srv:~$ df -hT
Filesystem Type Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
udev devtmpfs 223M 0 223M 0% /dev
tmpfs tmpfs 47M 5.6M 41M 13% /run
/dev/nvme0n1p1 ext4 8.7G 7.9G 333M 97% /
tmpfs tmpfs 232M 0 232M 0% /dev/shm
tmpfs tmpfs 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock
tmpfs tmpfs 232M 0 232M 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/nvme0n1p15 vfat 124M 278K 124M 1% /boot/efi
tmpfs tmpfs 47M 0 47M 0% /run/user/1000To check whether the volume has a partition that must be extended, we use the lsblk command:
admin@srv:~$ lsblk
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
nvme0n1 259:0 0 10G 0 disk
|-nvme0n1p1 259:1 0 8.9G 0 part /
|-nvme0n1p14 259:2 0 3M 0 part
`-nvme0n1p15 259:3 0 124M 0 part /boot/efiWe use the growpart command to extend the first partition:
admin@srv:~$ sudo growpart /dev/nvme0n1 1
CHANGED: partition=1 start=262144 old: size=18612191 end=18874335 new: size=20709343,end=2097148To extend the ext4 file system on the volume, we use the resize2fs command:
admin@srv:~$ sudo resize2fs /dev/nvme0n1p1
resize2fs 1.44.5 (15-Dec-2018)
Filesystem at /dev/nvme0n1p1 is mounted on /; on-line resizing required
old_desc_blocks = 2, new_desc_blocks = 2
The filesystem on /dev/nvme0n1p1 is now 2588667 (4k) blocks longLet’s verify the file system of the volume:
admin@srv:~$ df -hT /dev/nvme0n1p1
Filesystem Type Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/nvme0n1p1 ext4 9.7G 7.9G 1.3G 87% /That’s it…
In this session, I’ll demonstrate how to integrate Amazon SES with the Exim mail server software.
