Poor man's Ansible Tower

After a while of messing around with the free / demo version of Ansible Tower I thought that this could also be done with free tools. With some help from the internet and as an IT consultant I found the way forward.

As we all known Ansible is for free and is a package in the Ubuntu repository. Ansible Tower is a frontend for Ansible that will provide scheduler and a fancy webfrontend.

Rundeck is a job scheduler and runbook administration that is for free and also has a fancy webfrontend.

So for the poor man's solution we are going to use the best of both worlds.

POC

function Start-Sleep($seconds) {
    $doneDT = (Get-Date).AddSeconds($seconds)
    while($doneDT -gt (Get-Date)) {
        $secondsLeft = $doneDT.Subtract((Get-Date)).TotalSeconds
        $percent = ($seconds - $secondsLeft) / $seconds * 100
        Write-Progress -Activity "Sleeping" -Status "Sleeping..." -SecondsRemaining $secondsLeft -PercentComplete $percent
        [System.Threading.Thread]::Sleep(500)
    }
    Write-Progress -Activity "Sleeping" -Status "Sleeping..." -SecondsRemaining 0 -Completed
}

Are you let down when you saw there is no guide to use Windows Server 2016 under *nix environments? I really loved Microsoft when I heard they are working on Windows containers, but when this week has arrived, it was sad to see that installation requirements were Windows and HyperV. But actually it is not. You just have to modify the VHD file a bit with nicer tools and execute the already available script in the downloaded VM. I will assume you are running a decent version of Linux and accepted EULA and all the legal stuff that I do not care.

1. Getting the required tools:

$ sudo apt-get install qemu-kvm virt-manager // or virtualbox, but we need qemu-kvm for image manipulation
$ sudo apt-get install qemu-utils libguestfs-tools // image manipulation tools

2. Downloading files

#URL
$eApiUrl = "https://$switchIp/command-api"

# Command(s) we want to send
$cmds = @('show version')
