# OpenDaylight Ansible Role

Ansible role for the [OpenDaylight SDN controller][1].

**This project is new and under construction. See our [issue tracker](https://github.com/dfarrell07/ansible-opendaylight/issues) for details.**

## Requirements

The OpenDaylight Ansible role handles the installation and configuration of all of its dependences.

## Role Variables

### Karaf Features

To set extra Karaf features to be installed at OpenDaylight start time, pass them in a list to the `extra_features` variable. The extra features you pass will typically be driven by the requirements of your ODL install. You'll almost certainly need to pass some.

OpenDaylight normally installs a default set of Karaf features at boot. They are recommended, so the ODL Ansible role defaults to installing them. This can be customized by overriding the `default_features` variable. You shouldn't normally need to do so.

### REST API Port

To change the port on which OpenDaylight's northbound listens for REST API calls, use the `odl_rest_port` variable. This was added because OpenStack's Swift project uses a conflicting port.

## Dependencies

The OpenDaylight Ansible role doesn't depend on any other Ansible roles.

## Example Playbook

The simple example playbook below would install and configure OpenDaylight using this role.

```yaml
---
- hosts: example_host
  sudo: yes
  roles:
    - opendaylight
```

## License

The OpenDaylight Ansible role is Open Sourced under a BSD two-clause license. Contributions encouraged!
