Looking at the Fedora infra ansible git repo, it seems like there is a skeleton for managing beaker01.qa.fedoraproject.org, but just the system and OS, not the Beaker application itself. (Unless I missed something?)
I'd like to try and contribute a patch for Beaker server/lab controller roles. Where is the preferred place to iterate on that? Is there an open Phab issue, or should I just mail this list, or something else?
I'm sure it will take me quite a few attempts to get right :-) since I haven't done anything with Fedora infra ansible before.

Yeah, it's just a skeleton - I wanted to make sure that the setup would work before putting the effort into ansible-izing it.

I created a ticket to track the playbook role creation.

We can create another instance to work with but it might be easier to take the setup I wrote for the standalone taskotron instance and adapt that to work with local VMs to start with. The setup and execution wouldn't be identical but the same general concept of overriding the infra-specific role dependencies should work with beaker as well.

Yeah, there was a bit of a learning curve for me to figure out how that stuff works as well. Let us know if you have any questions about how stuff is set up.
