Initialize

Clone this repo and start up Vagrant!

git clone https://github.com/alexhoma/ansible-ubuntu-v16.04.git
cd ansible-centos-v6.7/vagrant
vagrant up --provision

If the command --provision doesn't work for you, try with:

vagrant up; vagrant provision;

The default VirtualHost maps to /var/www/ in port 80. But you can change it or add as many as you like. I also added a Fallback to `index.php so you don't need to add manually to your url.

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/
    ServerName ubuntu.performance.dev
    
    <Directory /var/www/html/mpwar_performance_exercise/web>
       FallbackResource /index.php
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Default credentials for MySQL, but you can change it anytime.

• User: ubuntu
• Password: root

Server provisioning

Web/Front server provision

Create an instance wherever you want. Let's say Amazon EC2.

• The first thing you have to do is add these lines into ansible/inventories/hosts

[web_server]
{PUT_HERE_YOUR_REMOTE_MACHINE_IP} ansible_ssh_private_key_file=~/.ssh/{PUT_HERE_YOUR_REMOTE_MACHINE_PUBLIC_KEY}.pem ansible_user=ubuntu

• For provision just paste this line in your terminal:

ansible-playbook ansible/web_playbook.yml -i ansible/inventory/hosts

MySQL server provision

If you want to use MySQL in a distributed way:

• Add these lines into ansible/inventories/hosts

[mysql_server]
{PUT_HERE_YOUR_MYSQL_MACHINE_IP} ansible_ssh_private_key_file=~/.ssh/{PUT_HERE_YOUR_MYSQL_MACHINE_PUBLIC_KEY}.pem ansible_user=ubuntu

• Then execute this line in your terminal for provision:

ansible-playbook ansible/mysql_playbook.yml -i ansible/inventory/hosts

Redis server provision

If you want to use Redis in a distributed way:

• Add these lines into ansible/inventories/hosts

[redis_server]
{PUT_HERE_YOUR_REDIS_MACHINE_IP} ansible_ssh_private_key_file=~/.ssh/{PUT_HERE_YOUR_REDIS_MACHINE_PUBLIC_KEY}.pem ansible_user=ubuntu

• Then execute this line in your terminal for provision:

ansible-playbook ansible/redis_playbook.yml -i ansible/inventory/hosts

• If you want to store the PHP sessions, you should add these lines manually in /etc/php/7.1/apache2/php.ini

[Session]
; Handler used to store/retrieve data.
; http://php.net/session.save-handler
session.save_handler = redis
session.save_path = "tcp://127.0.0.1:6379"

Add your Application

The shared folder shared/www maps to /var/www/html so if you want to add your PHP project just follow the next snippet:

# Remove this .git repository files
cd ansible-centos-v6.7/vagrant
rm -rf .git*

# Copy your project to the shared folder
git clone {YOUR_PROJECT_REPOSITORY}
cp -R {YOUR_PROJECT_REPOSITORY}/* www/
