Tips and Tricks

Install plugin

Download the plugin jar file and put it here:

/var/lib/rundeck/libext/

Add node

Change into the newly created project directory with the command:

cd /var/rundeck/projects/PROJECTNAME/etc/

Where PROJECTNAME is the name of the project you just created.

Create a new configuration file with the command:

nano resources.xml

The contents of the file will look like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project>
<node name="NAME"
  osFamily="unix"
  username="USERNAME"
  hostname="REMOTE_IP"
  ssh-authentication="password"
  sudo-command-enabled="true"
  sudo-password-storage-path="keys/USERNAME"
  />
</project>

Where:

• NAME is the name of the remote node.

• USERNAME is the username on the remote node.

• REMOTE_IP is the IP address of the remote node.

Save and close that file.

Restart Rundeck with the command:

sudo systemctl restart rundeckd
