#gdeploy
Tool to set-up and deploy glusterfs using ansible over multiple hosts
gluster-deploy can be used to set-up the back-end, create a glusterfs volume and mount it to a client over n-number of clients from an ansible installed machine. The framework takes the configurations for this from a configuration file to be defined by the user.

git clone git@github.com:gluster/gdeploy.git
cd gdeploy

echo "export ANSIBLE_LIBRARY=$ANSIBLE_LIBRARY:'/path/to/gdeploy/modules/'" >> ~/.bashrc
###Add ansible playbooks(inside the templates directory) to GDEPLOY_TEMPLATES environment variable
echo "export GDEPLOY_TEMPLATES='path/to/gdeploy'" >> ~/.bashrc
###To use the module you can either do:

echo "export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:'/path/to/gdeploy/glusterlib/'" >> ~/.bashrc
