| # This GitHub Action is designed to automate the process of setting up a RHEL server for Expertiza development. | |
| # The end result will be a fully functional server, ready for Expertiza development. | |
| # It is triggered by a manual event (workflow_dispatch) and runs a job called "setup". | |
| # The job consists of two steps: | |
| # Checkout: This step uses the actions/checkout@v3 action to check out the code from the repository. | |
| # This is necessary so that the Ansible playbook can be executed on the system. | |
| # Run playbook: This step uses the dawidd6/action-ansible-playbook@v2 action to run an Ansible playbook called "setup/setup_playbook.yml". | |
| # The playbook is executed with the following parameters: | |
| # key: This parameter specifies the SSH private key required to connect to the remote node. The value of this parameter is read | |
| # from the SSH_PRIVATE_KEY secret. | |
| # inventory: This parameter specifies the inventory file for the Ansible playbook. The node is the name of the server being targeted, | |
| # and ansible_host, ansible_user are the host and user credentials required to connect to the remote system. | |
| # The values of these parameters are read from the SSH_HOST and SSH_USER secrets, respectively. | |
| # options: This parameter specifies any additional command-line options to be passed to the Ansible playbook, | |
| # in this case, --verbose for extra logging. | |
