Welcome to WordPress-Contained!

The main goal of WordPress-Contained is to get a WordPress blog up and running as quickly as possible. The tool we use to Orchestrate this process is Ansible and the tool we use to "Contain" our blog is Docker.

Prerequisites

To execute Ansible Playbook it will be assumed that you have the following tasks completed:

Task to be completed before hand:

• A minimal installation of CentOS 7/ RHEL 7 setup and ready to go.
• A user account with sudo access and SSH keys configured. (I recommend ssh-copy-id user@hostname.example.com if you didn't already put it in a KickStart file.)
• Ansible 2.0 or greater installed on Ansible host. I personally prefer CentOS for the Asible host, but any popular Linux distros should do.

Step 1 -- Configure your local playbook

1.) Make sure to put all servers that you want push changes to into the "hosts" file within the playbook. Specify the under the "[RHEL7]" group. I named mine "unicorn"

• [RHEL7] unicorn.mysite.internal
• Ping Test(type): ansible -m ping RHEL7 -u SudoUser -K -i hosts

2.) Within the "group_var/all.yml" file change passwords for the following

• mysql_root_password
• wordpress_mysql_root_password

Step 2 -- Run your Ansible Playbook

1.) cd into the WordPress playbook (there should be a site.yml file present): 2.) Execute the playbook with a user account that has SUDO access.

• type: cd wordpress-contained
• type: ansible-playbook -i hosts site.yml -u SudoUser -K -l RHEL7

Step 3 -- Verify that you can log into your WordPress and PHPMyAdmin sites.

• 1.) For WordPress point browser to: http://unicorn.mysite.internal:8080

• 2.) For PHPMyAdmin point browser to: http://unicorn.mysite.internal:8181
