image_prep

This directory contains Ansible playbooks for building the Docker containers used for testing, or for setting up an OS X laptop so the tests can (mostly) run locally.

The Docker config is more heavily jinxed to trigger adverse conditions in the code, the OS X config just has the user accounts.

See ../README.md for a (mostly) description of the accounts created.

Building the containers

No single version of Ansible supports every Linux distribution that we target. To workaround this Tox is used, to install and run multiple versions of Ansible, in Python virtualenvs.

Preparing an OS X box

WARNING: this creates a ton of accounts with preconfigured passwords. It is generally impossible to restrict remote access to these, so your only option is to disable remote login and sharing.
