Autobase automation into console

[jefferypalmer]

Hi Vitality,

Great work on Autobase!

Quick question on the console (UI) interface.

First I am running a console automation, IE:

docker run --rm -it \
  -e ANSIBLE_SSH_ARGS="-F none" \
  -e ANSIBLE_INVENTORY=/autobase/inventory \
  -v $PWD/inventory:/autobase/inventory \
  -v $PWD/vars.yml:/vars.yml \
  -v $HOME/.ssh:/root/.ssh \
  autobase/automation:2.4.0 \
    ansible-playbook deploy_pgcluster.yml -e "@/vars.yml"

Then after the cluster is up and running, would prefer to move over to the UI for ongoing admin, which I see this example, but this isn't linking the same volumes/inventory/ansible setup.

docker run -d --name autobase-console \
  --publish 80:80 \
  --env PG_CONSOLE_AUTHORIZATION_TOKEN=secret_token \
  --env PG_CONSOLE_DOCKER_IMAGE=autobase/automation:2.4.0\
  --volume console_postgres:/var/lib/postgresql \
  --volume /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
  --volume /tmp/ansible:/tmp/ansible \
  --restart=unless-stopped \
  autobase/console:2.4.0

Is it possible to do a console automation and then move to the UI for ongoing management?

Hi @jefferypalmer

Thanks :)

At the moment, the UI does not yet provide management functions (planned), so now it is a graphical installer with the ability to monitor and display the status of a database cluster.

but this isn't linking the same volumes/inventory/ansible setup.

that's right, since the console stores this data (inventory and variables) in its database, there is no need to mount.

Is it possible to do a console automation and then move to the UI for ongoing management?

Although you won't gain much from it at the moment, but it's possible. Describe your cluster in the "Your Own Machines" section and check the box "Cluster exists", then your cluster will be added to the console.
