• Clone the smart-aquaculture-rhsummit repo to your computer.
• Connect to your target OpenShift cluster in the CLI with the oc command.
• Update the WORKBENCH_NAMES section of the roles/overlay-vars/vars/overlay-vars.yaml file to add as many users as you want to deploy. These vars are preconfigured to work with OpenShift Local by default, so customizations are required for other OpenShift clusters.
• Inside of the smart-aquaculture-rhsummit repo, run the Ansible Playbook to deploy all features.

There are 2 required variables to define, the OpenShift apps domain, and the number of workbenches to deploy.

ansible-playbook playbooks/deploy-all.yaml \
  -e OPENSHIFT_APPS_DOMAIN=apps... \
  -e WORKBENCH_COUNT=3

After the Ansible scripts complete, there will be OpenShift Jobs running in each of the workbench-user namespaces to finish setting up the VSCode environments for each user. Any user with the WORKBENCH_ADMIN: true variable in the overlay-vars role will have extra tasks performed to load the FIWARE related AI model into the search engine.
