BAOBAB-ANSIBLE (GUIDE)

Baobab LIMS is an open-source laboratory information management system (LIMS) software that will ensure that researchers can track the lifecycle of a biospecimen in the laboratory from receipt to storage and reuse. This software ensures that sufficient metadata is captured.

This ansible playbook is used to deploy a production-ready Baobab LIMS instance onto a server.

THIS IS AN EARLY RELEASE. It is currently recommended to only use this playbook against a single Ubuntu 16.04 server. Nothing else is tested!

TODO

• Support more Linux flavors for deployment
• Additional configuration parameters for Nginx

Usage

• Firstly, clone the repo and download the submodules as well:

  git clone https://github.com/BaobabLims/baobab-ansible.git
  cd baobab-ansible
  git submodule update --init --recursive

• Create a hosts file for ansible, e.g:

  [baobab]
  baobab.sanbi.ac.za ansible_user=ubuntu

• Edit the group_vars/all.yml file to reflect the settings you need. You mainly just need to edit the server_hostname and plone_initial_password.

• Execute the play with: ansible-playbook -i name_of_hostsfile site.yml. The buildout part of plone will take some time to execute.
