Quick test guide

Start the CentOS 7.0 virtual machine using Vagrant.

vagrant up

Copy the vagrant user's .ssh/ directory into root's home directory to enable password-less ssh as root.

vagrant ssh
sudo su
cd
cp -r ~vagrant/.ssh .
exit
exit

Create a provisioning/vars.yml file.

cd provisioning
cp vars-template.yml vars.yml
vim vars.yml  # Edit as you see fit, passwords in particular.

Check your version of vagrant.

vagrant --version

If your version is lower than 1.7.0 edit the provisioning/hosts file to look like the below (note the change in the path to the private key).

omeroserver ansible_ssh_host=127.0.0.1 ansible_ssh_port=2222 ansible_ssh_user=root ansible_ssh_private_key_file=~/.vagrant.d/insecure_private_key

Configure the virtual machine with an OMERO 5.2 install using Ansible.

ansible-playbook -i hosts omero_install.yml

At this point you will need to reload the virtual machine to allow SELinux to be disabled.

vagrant reload

Now you can log into the virtual machine and start omero.

vagrant ssh
su omero
cd   # (into the omero home directory)
./OMERO.server/bin/omero admin start

Make sure that everything is working as it should.

./OMERO.server/bin/omero admin diagnostics

Log in to the OMERO server using the web client at: http://127.0.0.1:8080.

Enabling ldap configuration

Edit the ldap details in provisioning/vars.yml..

Run Ansible.

ansible-playbook -i hosts configure_ldap_authentication.yml

Log into the virtual machine and re-start omero.

vagrant ssh
su omero
cd   # (into the omero home directory)
./OMERO.server/bin/omero admin restart

OMERO data storage

This playbook has been designed to allow several OMERO servers to point at the same root of a mounted file storage.

For example using the default variables with the Vagrant virtual machine provided in this repository results in the data directory /omero_data/vagrant-centos7/OMERO/. The playbook then creates a symbolic link to this directory from /OMERO.

To configure this setup modify the variables omero_data_mount and omero_data_dir.
