Ian Wienand 801e7c9bd0 Add openafs-client role
The role sets up a host as an OpenAFS client.

As noted in the README, OpenAFS is not available in every
distribution, or on every architecture.  The goal is to provide
sensible defaults but allow for flexibility.

This is largely a port of the client parts of
openstack-infra/puppet-openafs.

This is a generic role because it will be used from Zuul jobs
(wheel-builds) and in the control-plane (servers mounting AFS)

An ansible role to configure an OpenAFS client

Note

This role uses system packages where available, but for platforms or architectures where they are not available will require external builds. Defaults will pick external packages from OpenStack Infra builds, but you should evaluate if this is suitable for your environment.

This role configures the host to be an OpenAFS client. Because OpenAFS is very reliant on distribution internals, kernel versions and host architecture this role has limited platform support. Currently supported are

  • Debian family with system packages available
  • Ubuntu Xenial with ARM64, with external 1.8 series packages
  • CentOS 7 with external packages
