LAMP

This repository will create a virtual host on AWS (using Terraform and main.tf, variables.tf) that will install the LAMP environment (Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP) using Ansible with playbook.yml, vars\default.yml. Then a MySQL database is created on it and the info.php file is installed, which displays information about the user's IP address and statistics of visits from this address.

Settings

The parameters of the created VM for AWS and their default values are described in variables.tf:

• ami : Application and OS Images (Amazon Machine Image)
• instance_type : AWS Instance type
• region : AWS Availability Zone
• mysql_root_password : the password for the MySQL root account.

and in vars/default.yml variable file:

• app_user: a remote non-root user on the Ansible host that will own the application files.
• http_host: your domain name.
• http_conf: the name of the configuration file that will be created within Apache.
• http_port: HTTP port, default is 80.
• disable_default: whether or not to disable the default Apache website. When set to true, your new virtualhost should be used as default website. Default is true.

Using this repository

1. Create a script and configure settings

Template tf.sh:

if test -d "HelloWorld"; then
  cd HelloWorld
  git pull
else
  git clone https://github.com/YuriyUdod/HelloWorld.git
  cd HelloWorld
fi

export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="<type here AWS accesskey>"
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="<type here AWS secret access key>"
export TF_VAR_ami="<type here AWS AMI>"
export TF_VAR_instance_type="<type here AWS Instance type>"
export TF_VAR_region="<type here AWS region>"
export TF_VAR_mysql_root_password="<type here the password for the MySQL root account>"

terraform init
terraform apply

2. Run the script

tf.sh

After the script is finished, the IP address of the created VM is displayed on the screen.

3. Browser

Copy the value of the IP address and in the browser go to the page:

http:\\<IP-adress>/info.php

The screen will display brief information obtained on the basis of the user's IP address: IP address, Сity, Region, Country, Continent and the number of page visits from this address.

4. Deleting the created VM

To remove it, you need to create a script according to a different template, tfd.sh. Parameters are similar to the tf.sh template.

Template tfd.sh:

if test -d "HelloWorld"; then
  cd HelloWorld
  git pull
else
  git clone https://github.com/YuriyUdod/HelloWorld.git
  cd HelloWorld
fi

export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="<type here AWS accesskey>"
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="<type here AWS secret access key>"
export TF_VAR_ami="<type here AWS AMI>"
export TF_VAR_instance_type="<type here AWS Instance type>"
export TF_VAR_region="<type here AWS region>"
export TF_VAR_mysql_root_password="<type here the password for the MySQL root account>"

terraform init
terraform destroy
