Ansible Automation Platform on OpenShift (CRC)

This guide covers setting up Ansible Automation Platform (AAP) on OpenShift using CodeReady Containers (CRC) for development purposes.

Prerequisites

If you’re not familiar with OpenShift CRC:

• Follow the CRC installation guide
• Get your Red Hat pull secret for installation

Configure CRC Resources

crc config set memory 24576
crc config set disk-size 100
crc config set cpus 8

Installation

Save the following YAML as aap-install.yaml:

---
apiVersion: v1
kind: Namespace
metadata:
  name: aap
---
apiVersion: operators.coreos.com/v1
kind: OperatorGroup
metadata:
  name: aap-operator-group
  namespace: aap

  namespace: aap
spec:

  name: ansible-automation-platform-operator
  source: redhat-operators
  sourceNamespace: openshift-marketplace
  installPlanApproval: Automatic

Apply the configuration:

oc apply -f aap-install.yaml

And when all is ready, also this Ansible Resource as aap-resource.yaml:

    file_storage_access_mode: ReadWriteOnce

  eda:
    disabled: true
  lightspeed:
    disabled: true

  database:
    replicas: 1

oc apply -f aap-resource.yaml

Accessing AAP

Get the admin password:

oc get secrets -n aap aap-admin-password -o json | jq '.data.password | @base64d' -r

Get the web UI URL:

oc -n aap get route aap -o json | jq '"https://"+.spec.host' -r
