2. Installation

2.1. Install BlueBanquise

Make sure the system possesses curl command, then bootstrap bluebanquise using the provided online installer:

sudo source <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bluebanquise/bluebanquise/refs/heads/master/bootstrap/online_bootstrap.sh)

Once this installer has been used, you should have a new user called bluebanquise, with home folder set at /var/lib/bluebanquise.

2.2. Load working environment

Login as the bluebanquise user:

sudo su - bluebanquise

This user can be considered as the “cluster admin user”. Deployed nodes for example will automatically have the bluebanquise user configured and ssh keys set so that you can ssh on them.

Test you can now use the ansible-playbook command:

$ ansible-playbook --version
ansible-playbook [core 2.19.2]
config file = None
...

BlueBanquise tool is now installed on the current system (but not deployed yet!).

Next step is to create your first inventory to define and configure your cluster.

You can also, if needed, have a quick look to the vocabulary page (this is not mandatory).
