Install Rancher 2 w/ Terraform & Ansible - Part #3 - Install software on a VPS with Docker & Ansible

In this tutorial series we are using Terraform and Ansible to provision multiple host servers for use with a high availability Rancher 2 Kubernetes cluster, in an as automated manner as possible. By the end of this video you will have: Created a basic Ansible playbook directory structure Used Docker to run Ansible commands Completed a basic server provisioning using your Dockerised Ansible setup In order to complete this tutorial series you will need: One or more sufficiently powered servers An SSH key pair Your SSH key on your remote server Docker installed on your local machine Ansible - we will be using Docker to run Ansible Patience and / or persistence :) I will be using Ubuntu as my target server. At present, Rancher 2 requires Docker 17.03.2 which isn't straightforward to install on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. Therefore, I will be using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS for simplicity. This requirement may have changed by the time you follow this tutorial.
