Wordpress Ansible project for IT Security (2. semester)

Vagrant versions tested

• Vagrant 1.8.1
• Vagrant 1.7.4

Ansible versions tested:

• Ansible 2.0.1.0

Virtualization tested:

• Virtualbox v5.0
• KVM

About:

When Vagrant is run, a Virtual Machine is created, it runs the Ansible playbook, which installs Apache2, PHP, MySQL and a Wordpress web app that is accessible from the LAN and a database is to be imported. This system will have automated Backups, so a complete restoration is done from the latest Backup after every "Vagrant up".

How to use:

1. Clone the repository found here: Repository
2. Make sure, Vagrant and Ansible are installed on your machine.
3. In command-line - Navigate to the Cloned repository - cd /home/user/git/wordpress-ansible/
4. Start Vagrant - vagrant up
5. To SSH to the system - vagrant ssh
6. get the virtual machines ip address - vagrant ssh-config | grep HostName | cut -d ' ' -f4
7. To connect to Wordpress by pointing your browser to the ip addres/hostname
