Ansible Project: WordPress Deployment

This Ansible project automates the deployment of a WordPress application using Vagrant. The project consists of three VMs:

1. Ansible Controller: Responsible for managing and configuring the other VMs.
2. MySQL Server: Database server for the WordPress application.
3. WordPress: Web server hosting the WordPress application.

Requirements

• Vagrant
• VirtualBox

Usage

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/AbderrahmaneOd/ansible-vagrant-wordpress
   cd ansible-vagrant-wordpress

2. Spin up the VMs using Vagrant:

   vagrant up

3. Generate an SSH key pair on the Ansible Controller VM

   ssh-keygen

   Follow the prompts to generate the key pair. By default, the keys will be stored in the ~/.ssh/ directory. Then, copy the public key to the other VM.

    ssh vagrant@192.168.33.11
    ssh vagrant@192.168.33.10

   Note: Ensure that you can connect to both VMs without entering a password.

4. Connect to the Ansible Controller VM:

   vagrant ssh ansible-controller

5. Navigate to the Ansible project directory:

   cd /ansible

6. Install requirements:

   ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml
   

7. Run the Ansible playbook to configure the MySQL Server and deploy WordPress:

   ansible-playbook -i hosts wordpress.yml

8. Access WordPress in your web browser:

   • URL: http://localhost:8080

Directory Structure

• hosts: Ansible inventory file specifying VM details.
• wordpress.yml: Main Ansible playbook orchestrating the deployment.
• roles/: Ansible roles containing tasks for WordPress.
