chore: remove RST swap mechanism, archive rst-*.rst under docs/_rst_legacy/
The swap mechanism (RST-as-fallback for migrated MD pages) is dormant β€” docs/_rst_overrides.txt has been empty since the MyST flip trio (#1899/#1900/#1901) landed in May 2026. The mechanism's surface area (scripts/swap_sources.py, its 245-line test, RTD pre/post hooks, Makefile glue, conf.py dynamic loader) is dead weight, and the rst-*.rst shadows scattered across the source tree cause Context7's parser to misclassify the project as RST. Changes: - Move 253 rst-*.rst shadow files into docs/_rst_legacy/ preserving subdirectory structure. They remain in the repo for reference; Sphinx excludes the folder via exclude_patterns; Context7 excludes it via excludeFolders. - Strip swap_sources.py invocation from docs/Makefile (swap/restore targets, : swap deps, trap chains). - Strip jobs: pre_build/post_build block from .readthedocs.yml. - Strip rst-*.rst exclude entry and the _md_exclude.txt loader from docs/conf.py; replace with a single _rst_legacy exclude. - Delete scripts/swap_sources.py, tests/test_swap_sources.py, docs/_rst_overrides.txt. - Update context7.json: add docs/_rst_legacy to excludeFolders; fix stale "Branch current tracks…" rule to "Branch rolling tracks…" (default branch was renamed 2026-05-10). - Update AGENTS.md: drop the "RST override mechanism" section and the test-runner snippet for the deleted test; describe _rst_legacy as archive only. Verified: sphinx-build -b html with --keep-going produces identical warning set (68 unique), identical sitemap entry count (257), identical llms.txt entry count (22), zero rst-* URLs in any artifact. πŸ€– Generated by [robots](https://vyos.io)

-
-Command scripting
-=================
-
-VyOS supports executing configuration and operational commands non-interactively
-from shell scripts.
-
-To include VyOS-specific functions and aliases, source the
-``/opt/vyatta/etc/functions/script-template`` file at the beginning of your
-script.
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- #!/bin/vbash
- source /opt/vyatta/etc/functions/script-template
- exit
-
-Script execute permissions
---------------------------
-
-Simply placing script files in ``/config/scripts/`` does not mean the system
-can execute them.
-
-To make your scripts executable, grant them **execute permissions**. Use the
-following command:
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- chmod +x /config/scripts/script-name.sh
-
-Run configuration commands
---------------------------
-
-In scripts, present configuration commands as in a standard configuration
-session.
-
-For example, to disable a BGP peer during a VRRP transition to the backup
-state, use the following syntax:
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- #!/bin/vbash
- source /opt/vyatta/etc/functions/script-template
- configure
- set protocols bgp system-as 65536
- set protocols bgp neighbor 192.168.2.1 shutdown
- commit
- exit
-
-Run operational commands
-------------------------
-
-In scripts, **always** prefix operational commands with ``run``.
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- #!/bin/vbash
- source /opt/vyatta/etc/functions/script-template
- run show interfaces
- exit
-
-Run commands remotely
----------------------
-
-You can execute multiple **operational commands** on a remote VyOS system by
-passing a script block over SSH.
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- ssh 192.0.2.1 'vbash -s' <<EOF
- source /opt/vyatta/etc/functions/script-template
- run show interfaces
- exit
- EOF
-
-Example output:
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- Welcome to VyOS
- Codes: S - State, L - Link, u - Up, D - Down, A - Admin Down
- Interface IP Address S/L Description
- --------- ---------- --- -----------
- eth0 192.0.2.1/24 u/u
- lo 127.0.0.1/8 u/u
- ::1/128
-
-
-Other script languages
-----------------------
-
-If you use a scripting language other than bash, configure your script to
-output the relevant commands, and then source that output into a bash script.
-
-The following example demonstrates this two-step process:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
- #!/usr/bin/env python3
- print("delete firewall group address-group somehosts")
- print("set firewall group address-group somehosts address '192.0.2.3'")
- print("set firewall group address-group somehosts address '203.0.113.55'")
-
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- #!/bin/vbash
- source /opt/vyatta/etc/functions/script-template
- configure
- source <(/config/scripts/setfirewallgroup.py)
- commit
-
-
-Execute configuration scripts
--------------------------------
-
-In Linux, it is common practice to prefix system commands with ``sudo``.
-
-In VyOS, if you prefix a script that modifies the configuration with ``sudo``
-(see the code snippet below), subsequent manual configuration changes fail with
-the ``Set failed`` error. Recovery requires a system reboot.
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- sudo ./myscript.sh # Modifies config
- configure
- set ... # Any configuration parameter
-
-To avoid this issue, run scripts under the ``vyattacfg`` group using the ``sg``
-command:
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- sg vyattacfg -c ./myscript.sh
-
-To ensure the script is executed under the ``vyattacfg`` group, safeguard it as
-follows:
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- if [ "$(id -g -n)" != 'vyattacfg' ] ; then
- exec sg vyattacfg -c "/bin/vbash $(readlink -f $0) $@"
- fi
-
-Executing pre-hooks/post-hooks scripts
---------------------------------------
-
-VyOS allows you to run custom scripts **before** and **after** each commit.
-
-Place your custom scripts in the following default directories:
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- /config/scripts/commit/pre-hooks.d - Directory with scripts that run before
- each commit.
-
- /config/scripts/commit/post-hooks.d - Directory with scripts that run after
- each commit.
-
-Scripts run in alphabetical order. Filenames must consist only of ASCII letters
-(upper and lowercase), digits (0-9), underscores (_), and hyphens (-). No other
-characters are allowed.
-
-.. note:: Custom scripts are executed **without** root privileges. Prefix
- specific commands with ``sudo`` in your script when required.
-
-The following example shows the output after executing a post-hook script
-that runs the ``show interfaces`` command:
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- vyos@vyos# set interfaces ethernet eth1 address 192.0.2.3/24
- vyos@vyos# commit
- Codes: S - State, L - Link, u - Up, D - Down, A - Admin Down
- Interface IP Address S/L Description
- --------- ---------- --- -----------
- eth0 198.51.100.10/24 u/u
- eth1 192.0.2.3/24 u/u
- eth2 - u/u
- eth3 - u/u
- lo 203.0.113.5/24 u/u
-
-Preconfig script on boot
-------------------------
-
-VyOS runs ``/config/scripts/vyos-preconfig-bootup.script`` at boot, **before**
-the system configuration is applied.
-
-Use this script to apply **pre-configuration** workarounds for unresolved bugs
-or enhancements not yet available in VyOS.
-
-The default script contains the following:
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- #!/bin/sh
- # This script is executed at boot time before VyOS configuration is applied.
- # Any modifications required to work around unfixed bugs or use
- # services not available through the VyOS CLI system can be placed here.
-
-
-Postconfig script on boot
--------------------------
-
-VyOS runs ``/config/scripts/vyos-postconfig-bootup.script`` at boot, **after**
-the system configuration is applied.
-
-Use this script to apply **post-configuration** workarounds for unresolved bugs
-or enhancements not yet available in VyOS.
-
-The default script contains the following:
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- #!/bin/sh
- # This script is executed at boot time after VyOS configuration is fully
- # applied. Any modifications required to work around unfixed bugs or use
- # services not available through the VyOS CLI system can be placed here.
-
-.. warning:: For configuration or upgrade management issues, modify this script
- only as a last resort. Always try CLI-based solutions first.

-/info
-=========
-
-This is the only API endpoint that does not require authentication and can be
-accessed by anonymous users. The info endpoint returns general system
-information, including the VyOS version, system hostname, and a welcome banner.
-
-This endpoint accepts **only** HTTP GET requests.
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- curl --location --request GET 'https://vyos/info'
-
- response
- {
- "success": true,
- "data": {
- "version": "1.5-rolling",
- "hostname": "vyos",
- "banner": "Welcome to VyOS"
- },
- "error": null
- }
-
-**Query parameters**
-
-This endpoint accepts two optional query parameters, version and hostname. Each
-parameter accepts values convertible to Boolean (e.g., ``yes/no``, ``1/0``, or
-``true/false``) to control the inclusion of related fields in the response.
-
-If no query parameters are provided, both parameters default to ``true``.
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- curl --location --request GET 'https://vyos/info?version=1&hostname=1'
-
- response {
- "success": true,
- "data": {
- "version": "1.5-rolling",
- "hostname": "vyos",
- "banner": "Welcome to VyOS"
- },
- "error": null
- }
-
-If either parameter is set to a value corresponding to false, its field is
-returned as an empty string in the response:
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- curl --location --request GET 'https://vyos/info?version=0&hostname=1'
-
- response {
- "success": true,
- "data": {
- "version": "",
- "hostname": "vyos",
- "banner": "Welcome to VyOS"
- },
- "error": null
- }
-
-You do not need to specify both parameters if you want to hide only one. Any
-missing query parameter defaults to true.
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- curl --location --request GET 'https://vyos/info?hostname=no'
-
- response {
- "success": true,
- "data": {
- "version": "1.5-rolling",
- "hostname": "",
- "banner": "Welcome to VyOS"
- },
- "error": null
- }
-
-Note that while you can disable output for both ``hostname`` and ``version``,
-the ``banner`` is always included in the response.
-
-.. Important::
-
- The endpoint accepts **ONLY** ``hostname`` and ``version`` query
- parameters. Including any other parameters results in an HTTP 400 Bad Request.
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- curl --location --request GET \
- 'https://192.168.56.119/info?hostname=1&url=https://evilsite.com'

-
-Values passed to the query string are validated to ensure they are strictly
-Boolean. Other data types are not accepted.
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- curl --location --request GET 'https://vyos/info?hostname=1; eval"sudo rm -rf /"'

- "level": "info"
- },
- "protocols": {
- "level": "debug"
- }
- }
- }
- },
- "error": null
- }
-
-If you only need the value of a multi-valued node, use the ``returnValues``
-operation.
-
-For example, to get the addresses of a ``dum0`` interface:
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- curl -k --location --request POST 'https://vyos/retrieve' \
- --form data='{"op": "returnValues", "path": ["interfaces","dummy","dum0","address"]}' \

- "10.10.10.12/24"
- ],
- "error": null
- }
-
-To check whether a configuration path exists, use the ``exists`` operation. It
-returns ``true`` for an existing path:

-=========
-
-The ``/generate`` endpoint runs a ``generate`` command.
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- curl -k --location --request POST 'https://vyos/generate' \
- --form data='{"op": "generate", "path": ["pki", "wireguard", "key-pair"]}' \
- --form key='MY-HTTPS-API-PLAINTEXT-KEY'
-
- response:

- Public key: jjtpPT8ycI1Q0bNtrWuxAkO4k88Xwzg5VHV9xGZ58lU=\n\n",
- "error": null
- }
-
-
-/configure
-==========
-
-The ``/configure`` endpoint accepts ``set``, ``delete``, and ``comment`` commands.
-
-To apply a ``set`` command:
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- curl -k --location --request POST 'https://vyos/configure' \
- --form data='{"op": "set", "path": ["interfaces", "dummy", "dum1", "address", "10.11.0.1/32"]}' \
- --form key='MY-HTTPS-API-PLAINTEXT-KEY'
-
- response:
- {
- "success": true,
- "data": null,
- "error": null
- }
-
-
-To apply a ``delete`` command:
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- curl -k --location --request POST 'https://vyos/configure' \
- --form data='{"op": "delete", "path": ["interfaces", "dummy", "dum1", "address", "10.11.0.1/32"]}' \
- --form key='MY-HTTPS-API-PLAINTEXT-KEY'
-
- response:
- {
- "success": true,
- "data": null,
- "error": null
- }
-
-The API processes each request in a session and commits it. For components such
-as DHCP and PPPoE servers, IPsec, VXLAN, and other tunnels, VyOS requires the
-entire configuration block for a commit.
-
-The endpoint can process multiple commands if you pass them as a list to
-the ``data`` field.
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- curl -k --location --request POST 'https://vyos/configure' \
- --form data='[{"op": "set","path":["interfaces","vxlan","vxlan1","remote","203.0.113.99"]}, {"op": "set","path":["interfaces","vxlan","vxlan1","vni","1"]}]' \
- --form key='MY-HTTPS-API-PLAINTEXT-KEY'
-
- response:
- {
- "success": true,
- "data": null,
- "error": null
- }
-
-
-/config-file
-============
-
-The ``/config-file`` endpoint allows you to save, load, or merge a
-configuration.
-
-If you do not specify a file during the ``save`` operation, the configuration
-is automatically saved to ``/config/config.boot``.
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- curl -k --location --request POST 'https://vyos/config-file' \
- --form data='{"op": "save"}' \
- --form key='MY-HTTPS-API-PLAINTEXT-KEY'
-
- response:
- {
- "success": true,
- "data": "Saving configuration to '/config/config.boot'...\nDone\n",
- "error": null
- }
-
-
-To save a running configuration to a file:
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- curl -k --location --request POST 'https://vyos/config-file' \
- --form data='{"op": "save", "file": "/config/test.config"}' \
- --form key='MY-HTTPS-API-PLAINTEXT-KEY'
-
- response:
- {
- "success": true,
- "data": "Saving configuration to '/config/test.config'...\nDone\n",
- "error": null
- }
-
-
-To load a configuration file:
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- curl -k --location --request POST 'https://vyos/config-file' \
- --form data='{"op": "load", "file": "/config/test.config"}' \
- --form key='MY-HTTPS-API-PLAINTEXT-KEY'
-
- response:
- {
- "success": true,
- "data": null,
- "error": null
- }
-
-To merge a configuration file:
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- curl -k --location --request POST 'https://vyos/config-file' \
- --form data='{"op": "merge", "file": "/config/test.config"}' \
- --form key='MY-HTTPS-API-PLAINTEXT-KEY'
-
- response:
- {
- "success": true,
- "data": null,
- "error": null
- }
-
-For both ``load`` and ``merge`` operations, you can pass a string in the
-request body. For example:
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- curl -k --location --request POST 'https://vyos/config-file' \
- --form data='{"op": "merge", "string": "interfaces {\nethernet eth1 {\naddress "192.168.2.137/24"\ndescription "test"\n}\n}\n"}' \
- --form key='MY-HTTPS-API-PLAINTEXT-KEY'
-
- response:
- {
- "success": true,
- "data": null,
- "error": null
- }
-
-**************
-Commit-confirm
-**************
-
-For the previous two endpoints, a ``commit`` command is executed automatically
-after a successful request operation (``set``, ``delete``, ``load``, ``merge``,
-or a list of ``set`` and ``delete`` operations).
-
-Alternatively, you can initiate a ``commit-confirm``. Include the
-``confirm_time`` field in your request and set it to an integer greater than
-``0``.
-
-The following example uses the JSON format for brevity, though the standard
-form data format is equally valid:
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- curl -k -X POST -d '{"key": "MY-HTTPS-API-PLAINTEXT-KEY", "op": "merge", "string": "interfaces {\nethernet eth1 {\naddress '192.168.137.1/24'\ndescription 'internal'\n}\n}\n", "confirm_time": 1}' https://vyos/config-file
-
- response:
- {
- "success": true,
- "data": "Initialized commit-confirm; 1 minutes to confirm before reload\n",
- "error": null
- }
-
-If not confirmed within the specified time, the committed changes will be
-reverted. To confirm and keep the changes:
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- curl -k -X POST -d '{"key": "MY-HTTPS-API-PLAINTEXT-KEY", "op": "confirm"}' https://vyos/config-file
-
- response:
- {
- "success": true,
- "data": "Reload timer stopped\n",
- "error": null
- }
-
-If the commit is not confirmed, the revert behavior is controlled by:
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- vyos@vyos# set system config-management commit-confirm action
- Possible completions:
- reload Reload previous configuration if not confirmed
- reboot Reboot to saved configuration if not confirmed (default)

-NAPALM VyOS driver
-##################
-
-VyOS can be configured using the `NAPALM VyOS driver`_, which enables you to
-retrieve device data and apply configurations via SSH.
-
-.. note::
-
- The ``napalm-vyos`` module is currently in testing.
-
-To use the NAPALM VyOS driver, install the following packages:
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- apt install python3-pip
- pip3 install napalm
- pip3 install napalm-vyos
-
-
-Retrieve device data
---------------------
-
-The following script connects to a VyOS device, retrieves device facts and
-the ARP table, and prints the output in JSON format.
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- #!/usr/bin/env python3
-
- import json
- from napalm import get_network_driver
-
- driver = get_network_driver('vyos')
-
- vyos_router = driver(
- hostname="192.0.2.1",
- username="vyos",
- password="vyospass",
- optional_args={"port": 22},
- )
-
- vyos_router.open()
- output = vyos_router.get_facts()
- print(json.dumps(output, indent=4))
-
- output = vyos_router.get_arp_table()
- print(json.dumps(output, indent=4))
-
- vyos_router.close()
-
-Output:
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- $ ./vyos-napalm.py

- }
- ]
-
-Apply a configuration
----------------------
-
-To apply a configuration using NAPALM VyOS driver, you will need a file with
-configuration commands (``commands.conf``) and a script that executes and
-commits them (``vyos-napalm.py``).
-
-* ``commands.conf``
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- set service ssh disable-host-validation
- set service ssh port '2222'
- set system name-server '192.0.2.8'
- set system name-server '203.0.113.8'
- set interfaces ethernet eth1 description 'FOO'
-
-* ``vyos-napalm.py``
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- #!/usr/bin/env python3
-
- from napalm import get_network_driver
-
- driver = get_network_driver('vyos')
-
- vyos_router = driver(
- hostname="192.0.2.1",
- username="vyos",
- password="vyospass",
- optional_args={"port": 22},
- )
-
- vyos_router.open()
- vyos_router.load_merge_candidate(filename='commands.conf')
- diffs = vyos_router.compare_config()
-
- if bool(diffs) == True:
- print(diffs)
- vyos_router.commit_config()
- else:
- print('No configuration changes to commit')
- vyos_router.discard_config()
-
- vyos_router.close()
-
-Output:
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- $./vyos-napalm.py
- [edit interfaces ethernet eth1]

-Netmiko-proxy
--------------
-
-It is possible to configure VyOS via netmiko_ proxy module.
-It requires a minion with installed packet ``python3-netmiko`` module
-who has a connection to VyOS nodes. Salt-minion have to communicate
-with salt master
-

-VyOS supports development infrastructure via Terraform and provisioning
-via Ansible.
-Terraform allows you to automate the deployment of instances on a number of
-cloud and virtual platforms. This section shows how to deploy VyOS on
-multiple platforms: AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP),
-and VMware vSphere.
-For more information, see the

-Deploy VyOS on AWS with Terraform and Ansible
-=============================================
-
-You can use Terraform to quickly deploy VyOS-based infrastructure
-on AWS and remove infrastructure when it's no longer needed.
-Additionally, you can use Ansible for provisioning.
-
-
-.. image:: /_static/images/aws.*
- :width: 50%
- :align: center
- :alt: Network Topology Diagram
-
-On this page you'll learn how to:
-
-* Create the necessary files for Terraform and Ansible.
-* Use Terraform to create a single instance on AWS and use Ansible for
- provisioning.
-
-
-Prepare to deploy VyOS with Terraform on AWS
---------------------------------------------
-
-To create a single instance and install your configuration using
-Terraform, Ansible, and AWS, follow these steps:
-
-AWS
-^^^
-
-
-1. Create an account with AWS and get your ``access_key`` and ``secret_key``.
-
-2. Create a key pair_ and download your ``.pem`` key.
-
-.. image:: /_static/images/keypairs.*
- :width: 50%
- :align: center
- :alt: Network Topology Diagram
-
-3. Create a security group_ for the new VyOS instance and open all traffic.

-
-Terraform
-^^^^^^^^^
-
-1. Create an UNIX or Windows instance.
-
-2. Download and install
- `Terraform <https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/install>`__.
-
-3. Create a folder, for example ``/root/awsterraform``:
-
- .. code-block:: none
-
- mkdir /root/awsterraform
-
-.. stop_vyoslinter
-
-4. Copy all files into your Terraform project
- (``vyos.tf``, ``var.tf``, ``terraform.tfvars``, ``version.tf``).
- See `Structure of files in Terraform for AWS <#structure-of-files-in-terraform-for-aws>`__ for more details.
-
-.. start_vyoslinter
-
-5. Run the following commands:
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- cd /<your folder>
- terraform init
-
-Ansible
-^^^^^^^
-
-
-1. Create a UNIX instance whenever you need.
-
-2. Download and install Ansible
-
-3. Create a folder, for example ``/root/aws/``.
-
-.. stop_vyoslinter
-
-4. Copy all files into your Ansible project
- (``ansible.cfg``, ``instance.yml``,
- ``mykey.pem``, and ``all``).
- See `Structure of files in Ansible for AWS <#structure-of-files-in-ansible-for-aws>`__ for more details.
- You can obtain ``mykey.pem`` by creating a key pair_ in AWS and
- downloading your ``.pem`` key.
-
-.. start_vyoslinter
-

-
- terraform destroy
-
-
-Troubleshooting
----------------
-
-1. If Ansible doesn't connect via SSH to your AWS instance, verify that
- your SSH key is in the path ``/root/aws/``. You might need to
- increase the timeout in ``instance.yml`` from 300 seconds to 500
- seconds or more, depending on your location. Make sure that the
- security group allows access to the instance.
-
-2. If Terraform doesn't connect via SSH to your Ansible instance,
- verify the correct login and password in the ``VyOS.tf`` file.
-
- .. code-block:: none
-
- connection {
- type = "ssh"
- user = "root" # open root access using login and password on your Ansible
- password = var.password # check password in the file terraform.tfvars isn't empty
- host = var.host # check the correct IP address of your Ansible host
- }
-
-
-Make sure Ansible can ping from Terraform.

-Deploy VyOS on Microsoft Azure with Terraform and Ansible
-=========================================================
-
-You can use Terraform to quickly deploy VyOS-based infrastructure
-on Microsoft Azure (hereafter referred to as *Azure*) and remove
-infrastructure when it's no longer needed.
-Additionally, you can use Ansible for provisioning.
-
-On this page you'll learn how to:
-
-* Create the necessary files for Terraform and Ansible.
-* Use Terraform to create a single instance on Azure and use Ansible for
- provisioning.
-
-Prepare to deploy VyOS with Terraform on Azure
-----------------------------------------------
-
-To create a single instance and install your configuration using
-Terraform, Ansible, and Azure, follow these steps:
-
-Azure
-^^^^^
-
-1. Create an `Azure account <https://azure.microsoft.com/>`__.
-
-Terraform
-^^^^^^^^^
-
-
-1. Create an UNIX or Windows instance.
-
-2. Download and install
- `Terraform <https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/install>`__.
-
-3. Create the folder for example ``/root/azvyos/``.
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- mkdir /root/azvyos
-
-.. stop_vyoslinter
-
-4. Copy all files into your Terraform project "/root/azvyos"
- (``vyos.tf``, ``var.tf``, ``terraform.tfvars``). For more details, see
- `Structure of files in Terraform for Azure <#structure-of-files-in-terraform-for-azure>`_.
-
-.. start_vyoslinter
-
-5. Log in to Azure using the command:
-
- .. code-block:: none
-
- az login
-
-6. Run the following commands to initialize Terraform:
-
- .. code-block:: none
-
- cd /<your folder>
- terraform init
-
-Ansible
-^^^^^^^
-
-
-1. Create an UNIX instance either locally or in the cloud.
-
-2. Download and install Ansible
-
-3. Create a folder, for example ``/root/az/``.
-
-4. Copy all files into your Ansible project ``/root/az/`` (``ansible.cfg``,
- ``instance.yml``, ``all``). For more details, see
- `Structure of files in Ansible for Azure`_
-
-
-Deploy with Terraform
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-
-Run the following commands on your Terraform instance:
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- cd /<your folder>
- terraform plan
- terraform apply
- yes
-
-After executing all the commands, your VyOS instance is deployed to
-Azure with your configuration.
-If you need to delete the instance, run the following command:
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- terraform destroy
-

-Deploy VyOS on Google Cloud with Terraform and Ansible
-======================================================
-
-Using Terraform, you can quickly deploy VyOS-based infrastructure on
-Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and remove the
-infrastructure when it's no longer needed.
-Additionally, you can use Ansible for provisioning.
-
-On this page you'll learn how to:
-* Create the necessary files for Terraform and Ansible.
-* Use Terraform to create a single instance on GCP and use Ansible for
-provisioning.
-
-Prepare to deploy VyOS with Terraform on GCP
---------------------------------------------
-
-To create a single instance and install your configuration using
-Terraform, Ansible, and GCP, follow these steps:
-
-GCP
-^^^
-
-
-1. Create an account with GCP and a new project.
-
-.. image:: /_static/images/project.*
- :width: 50%
- :align: center
- :alt: Network Topology Diagram
-
-2. Create a service account and download your key (a JSON file).
-
-.. image:: /_static/images/service.*
- :width: 50%
- :align: center
- :alt: Network Topology Diagram
-
-.. image:: /_static/images/key.*
- :width: 50%
- :align: center
- :alt: Network Topology Diagram
-
-The .JSON file downloads automatically after you create it and looks
-like the following:
-
-.. image:: /_static/images/json.*
- :width: 50%
- :align: center
- :alt: Network Topology Diagram
-
-
-Terraform
-^^^^^^^^^
-
-
-1. Create an UNIX or Windows instance.
-
-2. Download and install
- `Terraform <https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/install>`__.
-
-3. Create the folder. For example, ``/root/google``.
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- mkdir /root/google
-
-.. stop_vyoslinter
-4. Copy all files into your Terraform project ``/root/google``
- (``vyos.tf``, ``var.tf``, ``terraform.tfvars``, ``mykey.json``).
- For more details,
- see `Structure of files Terraform for Google Cloud <#structure-of-files-in-terraform-for-google-cloud>`_
-
-.. start_vyoslinter
-
-5. Run the following commands:
-
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- cd /<your folder>
- terraform init
-
-
-Ansible
-^^^^^^^
-
-1. Create an UNIX instance either locally or in the cloud.
-
-2. Download and install Ansible
-
-3. Create the folder for example /root/google/
-
-4. Copy all files into your Ansible project ``/root/google/``
- (``ansible.cfg``, ``instance.yml``, ``mykey.json``, and ``all``). For more
- details, see `Structure of files in Ansible for Google Cloud`_
-
-You obtain ``mykey.json`` when you create a service account in GCP
-and download the key (a JSON file).
-
-
-Deploy with Terraform
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-
-Run the following commands on your Terraform instance:
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- cd /<your folder>
- terraform plan
- terraform apply
- yes
-
-
-Create a GCP instance and check its configuration

-After running all the commands, your VyOS instance is deployed on

-To delete the instance, type the following command:
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- terraform destroy
-
-
-Troubleshooting
----------------
-
-1. Increase the timeout value in ``instance.yml`` from 300 seconds to
- 500 seconds or more (depends on your location). Ensure that the
- security group allows access to the instance.
-
-2. If Terraform doesn't connect via SSH to your Ansible instance:
- Check the correct login and password in the ``VyOS.tf`` file.
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- connection {
- type = "ssh"
- user = "root" # open root access using login and password on your Ansible
- password = var.password # check password in the file terraform.tfvars isn't empty
- host = var.host # check the correct IP address of your Ansible host
- }
-
-
-Verify that Ansible can ping from Terraform.

-Deploy VyOS on VMware vSphere with Terraform and Ansible
-========================================================
-
-You can use Terraform to quickly deploy VyOS-based infrastructure
-on VMware vSphere (hereafter referred to as *vSphere*) and remove
-infrastructure when it's no longer needed.
-Additionally, you can use Ansible for provisioning.
-
-On this page you'll learn how to:
-
-* Create the necessary files for Terraform and Ansible.
-* Use Terraform to create a single instance on Azure and use Ansible for
- provisioning.
-
-Prepare to deploy VyOS with Terraform on vSphere
-------------------------------------------------
-
-To create a single instance and install your configuration using
-Terraform, Ansible, and vSphere, follow these steps:
-
-vSphere
-^^^^^^^
-
-
-.. stop_vyoslinter
-
-1. Add all necessary data to the ``terraform.tfvars``
- `file <https://github.com/vyos/vyos-automation/blob/main/TerraformCloud/Vsphere_terraform_ansible_single_vyos_instance-main/terraform.tfvars>`__
- and create resources.
-
-.. start_vyoslinter
-
-Terraform
-^^^^^^^^^
-
-
-1. Create an UNIX or Windows instance.
-
-2. Download and install
- `Terraform <https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/install>`__.
-
-3. Create the folder for example ``/root/vsphereterraform``.
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- mkdir /root/vsphereterraform
-
-
-4. Copy all files into your Terraform project ``/root/vsphereterraform``
- (``vyos.tf``, ``var.tf``, ``terraform.tfvars``, ``version.tf``).
- For more details,
- see `Structure of files in Terraform for vSphere`_
-
-5. Run the following commands:
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- cd /<your folder>
- terraform init
-
-
-Ansible
-^^^^^^^
-
-
-1. Create an UNIX instance either locally or in the cloud.
-
-2. Download and install Ansible.
-
-3. Create the folder. For example, ``/root/vsphereterraform/``.
-
-4. Copy all files into your Ansible project ``/root/vsphereterraform/``
- (``ansible.cfg``, ``instance.yml``, ``all``). For more details, see
- `Structure of files in Ansible for vSphere`_
-
-
-Deploy with Terraform
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-
-Run the following commands on your Terraform instance:
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- cd /<your folder>
- terraform plan
- terraform apply
- yes
-
-
-After executing these commands, your VyOS instance is deployed to
-vSphere with your configuration.
-If you need to delete the instance, run the following command:
-.. code-block:: none
-
- terraform destroy
-
-
