This assumes that you have CrashPlan installed on a remote server as well as the local computer where you will be running ansible.
- Install Ansible: http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/intro_installation.html
- Edit the
inventory
file to replace<CRASHPLAN_SERVER_HOST>
with the hostname or address of your CrashPlan server. - Set up SSH key authentication for your CrashPlan server.
- Run
ansible-playbook -i inventory playbook.yml --ask-sudo-pass
. This will establish an SSH tunnel. - Run the local CrashPlan UI.
- When you're done, close the CrashPlan UI and close the SSH tunnel with
ctrl-C
.
