+
+# OpenDaylight Ansible Role
+
+Ansible role for the [OpenDaylight SDN controller][1].
+
+#### Ansible Dependencies: `ansible-galaxy`
+
+Releases of this role can also be installed available via [Ansible Galaxy][5]
+which ships with Ansible.
+
+To install the latest version of ansible on RedHat based OSs:
+
+```
+$ sudo yum install -y ansible
+```
+
+To install the latest version of ansible on Debian based OSs:
+
+```
+$ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ansible/ansible
+$ sudo apt-get update
+$ sudo apt-get install -y ansible
+```
+
+#### Ansible Dependencies: Roles
+
+After you install the `ansible-galaxy` tool, point it at the project's
+`requirements.yml` file to install ODL's role.
+
+```
+[~/ansible-opendaylight]$ ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml
+```
+
+The OpenDaylight Ansible role doesn't depend on any other Ansible roles.
+
+## 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 `nb_rest_port` variable. This was added because OpenStack's
+Swift project uses a conflicting port.
+
+The Ansible role will handle opening this port in FirewallD if it's active.
+
+### Install Method
+
+OpenDaylight can be installed either via an RPM or a .deb depending on the operating system.
+For RedHat based OSs, the valid options for `odl_install_method` are `rpm_repo` or `rpm_path`.
+For Debian based OSs, `odl_install_method` can accept either `deb_repo` or `deb_path`.
+
+## Installing OpenDaylight
+
+To install OpenDaylight on your system, you can make use of `ansible-playbook`.
+
+On RedHat based OSs, you can install OpenDaylight from RPM repo (recommended) using
+the playbook `examples/all_defaults_playbook.yml` or from a local/remote path to an ODL rpm via
+`examples/rpm_path_install_playbook.yml`.
+
+```Shellsession
+sudo ansible-playbook -i "localhost," -c local examples/<playbook>
+```
+
+On a Debian based OS, you can install OpenDaylight either from a Debian repo using the
+playbook `examples/deb_repo_install_playbook.yml` or from a local/remote Deb path using
+`examples/deb_path_install_playbook.yml`.
+
+```Shellsession
+sudo ansible-playbook -i "localhost," -c local examples/<playbook>
+```
+
+You can also use ansible-opendaylight using [Vagrant base box examples of Ansible ODL deployments][8].
+
+## Example Playbook
+
+The simple example playbook below would install and configure OpenDaylight
+using this role.
+
+```yaml
+---
+- hosts: example_host
+ sudo: yes
+ roles:
+ - opendaylight
+```
+
+To override default settings, pass variables to the `opendaylight` role.
+
+```yaml
+---
+- hosts: all
+ sudo: yes
+ roles:
+ - role: opendaylight
+ extra_features: ['odl-netvirt-openstack']
+```
+
+Results in:
+
+```
+opendaylight-user@root>feature:list | grep odl-netvirt-openstack
+odl-netvirt-openstack | <odl-release> | x | odl-netvirt-<odl-release> | OpenDaylight :: NetVirt :: OpenStack
+```
