Living Atlas Ansible Web Generator

NOTE: This tool is deprecated, please use the LA Toolkit instead.

This is a web interface for our yeoman Living Atlas generator. It tries to facilitate even more the initial deployment of a LA portal. Demo site.

Why this tool?

The deployment of a Living Atlas (LA) is not straightforward. Many times newcomers start using the ala-install demo ansible inventories, or the vagrant test environment, but the effort necessary to go from these sample inventories to a production quality ones is enormous.

Our Living Atlas generator, our LA base-branding and our bootstrap remote sessions helps a lot to get a running LA portal for testing and even production. But still the effort to understand and use these tools is considerable.

This web tool tries to minimize this initial effort. Using a web assistant and asking some basic questions you can generate & download your initial inventories, and a compatible html/css theme, tailored for you LA portal.

This is inspired in other similar tools like the Bootstrap customization tool.
