A convenient way to quickly setup a local Uyuni Instance inclusive Clients, either for Development or Testing, is sumaform. It supports different backends and provides a ton of options, check it out: https://github.com/uyuni-project/sumaform

I just want to run a Uyuni Server and a few Clients (openSUSE, EL, Debian) on my Laptop so I can verify reported bugs, try some configs as well as deploy and test changes during development, without investing much time.

Following a overview of the, in my case, relevant steps, examples of my config and some Ansible snippets.

Setup

sudo zypper addrepo http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/systemsmanagement:/sumaform/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/systemsmanagement:sumaform.repo
sudo zypper install git-core
sudo zypper install --from systemsmanagement_sumaform terraform terraform-provider-libvirt
git clone https://github.com/uyuni-project/sumaform.git

Follow the First-time configuration (libvirt) instructions in the README, but use the uyuni example file instead: copy main.tf.uyuni.example to main.tf

Config & Deployment

vim main.tf

terraform init
terraform validate
terraform apply

My terraform main.cf based on the uyuni example file

terraform {
 required_version = "1.0.10"
 required_providers {
   libvirt = {
     version = "0.6.3"
   }
 }
}
provider "libvirt" {
}
module "base" {
  cc_username = ""
  cc_password = ""
  images = ["centos7", "opensuse153o", "ubuntu1804"]
}
module "server" {
  base_configuration = module.base.configuration
  product_version = "uyuni-master"
  name = "server"
  image = "opensuse153o"
  use_os_released_updates = true
  create_first_user = false
  auto_accept = false
  skip_changelog_import = false
  mgr_sync_autologin = false
  create_sample_channel = false
  create_sample_activation_key = false
  create_sample_bootstrap_script = false
  publish_private_ssl_key = false
  java_debugging = true
  provider_settings = {
    memory = 8192
    vcpu = 4
  }
}
module "redhat-minion" {
  base_configuration = module.base.configuration
  product_version = "uyuni-master"
  name = "minion-centos7"
  image = "centos7"
  server_configuration = module.server.configuration
  provider_settings = {
    memory = 1024
  }
  auto_connect_to_master = true
}
module "debian-minion" {
  base_configuration = module.base.configuration
  product_version = "uyuni-master"
  name = "minion-ubuntu1804"
  image = "ubuntu1804"
  server_configuration = module.server.configuration
  provider_settings = {
    memory = 1024
  }
  auto_connect_to_master = true

}
