In an ideal world, all of your configuration information would be stored as Ansible variables, in the various places that Ansible lets you define variables (e.g., the vars section of your playbooks, files loaded by vars_files , files in the host_vars or group_vars directory).

Alas, the world is a messy place, and sometimes a piece of configuration data we need lives somewhere else. Maybe it’s in a text file or a .csv file, and we don’t want to just copy the data into an Ansible variable file because now you have to maintain two copies of the same data, and you believe in the DRY 2 principle. Or maybe the data isn’t maintained as a file at all; it’s maintained in a key-value storage service such as etcd.

Ansible has a feature called lookups that allows you to read i

Let Tomcat is download and installed under /opt/tomcat. Also, let tomcat be a non-provileged user under which the server will be running.

We assume that we keep server's binaries under /opt/tomcat and we will create a server instance named foo under /var/tomcat/ (carrying its own conf, logs, webapps, work, lib directories). See also https://dzone.com/articles/running-multiple-tomcat.

Create a template service unit file at /etc/systemd/system/[email protected]:

Running a Samba 4.x Domain Controller on a Raspberry Pi

If you don't have a Windows server available for testing, a Raspberry Pi makes a great test environment. It works with Mac AD Binding, Apple Enterprise Connect, and the Mac Kerberos SSO Extension.

Configuring a Domain Controller on Rasbian or other Debian-based Linux distribution:

1. Install Rasbian. Use NOOBS if you are new to Raspberry Pi at https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/. Optionally enable SSH or VNC support in Raspbian settings menu to remote in to the machine.

2. Install Samba and related packages. Some packages may launch setup tools. Skip through the Kerberos configuration with defaults. We will be deleting the Kerberos configuration in a later step.
