Streisand: How do i deploy streisand on local server, instead of deploying it on the cloud?

This isn't currently possible, though @jlund has mentioned including this functionality at some point in #93 in a Dec. 18 post.

Any update on this? It would really make things simpler for me to help others get streisand going who only have access to windows machines and the server they're putting it on.

uncomment this and set it to your server ip address, I remember that I used localhost once but docs had bad links.

Add this:

host_key_checking = False // line in the ansible.cfg file. That setting

to the ansible.cfg file.

Launch the ansible playbook directly:

ansible-playbook playbooks/streisand.yml

@skeeve42 I don't know why it would not be possible, I managed to do it twice. But, I remember having small issues and that I might have removed a line or two from the playbook.

@soyuka Thanks I'll give it a try!

@soyuka I finally got around to trying this, but it gave me an immediate error. (data could not be sent to the remote host). Ah well, I'll just install it via another VPS again. Silly, but all I can do!

@skeeve42 I too have been able to get this to work on a local machine, and it did require the modifications that @soyuka suggested. I'll try to dig up which line items I had to monkey with to make it work, but I got it running within a few hours.

you could try adding localhost to inventory and run ansible-playbook with --connection=local option

ansible-playbook playbooks/streisand.yml --connection=local

Hi @ma-tt, please avoid +1 comments since they create notifications unneccesarily. Can you use a Github reaction emoji :+1: on the issue itself in the future? Thanks!

This has been officially supported since https://github.com/jlund/streisand/pull/724 was merged. The answer to the original thread topic is now:
1) Clone master on the server
2) Follow the setup instructions (installing python, pip, ansible)
3) Running ./streisand
4) Choosing the local server install.

Closing this issue. Thanks everyone.
