Bootstrap OpenBSD so it can be managed by Ansible

bootstrap_openbsd_ansible.sh

#!/usr/bin/env sh
#
# This script can be executed to bootstrap a clean OpenBSD installation
# so that it can be managed via Ansible.
#
# Enter the root password when prompted (twice)
#
# NB: Assumes $TARGET_HOST has already been added to inventory and
#     appropriate groups, and that variables are set as necessary
#     (e.g. ansible_become_method, ansible_python_interpreter, etc.)
#

ansible $TARGET_HOST -m raw -b -K -a "echo 'permit nopass bofh as root' > /etc/doas.conf" -e "ansible_become_method=su"
ansible $TARGET_HOST -m raw -b -K -a "echo 'installpath = mirrors.gigenet.com' > /etc/pkg.conf" -e "ansible_become_method=su"
ansible $TARGET_HOST -m raw -b -a "pkg_add -z python-2"

# To test success, run "ansible $TARGET_HOST -m setup"

Alternatively, log in to the OpenBSD system, either locally or via SSH, and execute the following commands (as root):

# echo 'permit nopass bofh as root' > /etc/doas.conf
# echo 'installpath = mirrors.gigenet.com' > /etc/pkg.conf
# pkg_add -z python-2

The system can now be managed via Ansible.

pkg.conf is deprecated. You can use /etc/installurl now. Also the url only has to end at OpenBSD the version and package "directory" are appended to the uri eg:
tasks:

• name Create installurl
  raw: echo "http://mirror.esc7.net/pub/OpenBSD" > /etc/installurl
• name Install Python 2.7
  raw: pkg_add -z python-2.7
