Deploy

This guide explains how to deploy and manage the Cyber Master Infrastructure Solution (CyMaIS) using Ansible. CyMaIS is based on a collection of ansible tasks. The tasks use different “modes” to control behavior such as updates, backups, resets, and cleanup tasks.

Prerequisites

• Inventory File: Have an inventory file that lists your servers and PCs. (Paths in examples are general; adjust them to your environment.)

• Cymais Installed: CyMaIS is installed via Kevin’s Package-Manager.

• Vault Password File (Optional): Prepare a file with your vault password if you prefer not to enter it interactively.

Deploying on Servers

To get detailled information how to use CyMaIS to deploy software to your server execute:

cymais --help

Using a Password File

To avoid entering your vault password interactively every time, use the --password-file option:

--password-file /path/to/your/vault_pass.txt

Ensure the vault password file is stored securely.
