python-dev-server

What it do

Builds a python development VM using vagrant and ansible.

This was mostly put together to learn more about devops and automated deployment. The following articles were very useful:

• Flask/WSGI Application Deployment with Ubuntu, Ansible, Nginx, Supervisor and uWSGI
• Serving Flask With Nginx

How do

In theory, this is how you get it up and running:

1. Install VirtualBox
2. Install Vagrant
3. Install Ansible. I'd recommend doing it via pip
4. Clone this repo into a directory of your choosing
5. In that directory, do vagrant up
6. In that same directory, do ./ansible_bootstrap.sh
7. Navigate to http://192.168.33.88. You should see "Hello World!"

Caveats

• I developed this on an OS X host. YMMV. No idea how it would work on a Windows host.
• Still running Vagrant 1.0.x here for work reasons, so I don't know how well the Vagrantfile will work with newer versions.
