Ansible playbooks for provisioning optimized web servers for WordPress and Laravel. These playbooks are used by Autopilot (our cloud server control panel) and are perfect for:

• Local development environments.
• High-performance production servers (with caching).

Requirements

• Ansible
• Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Desktop/Server)

Inventory

Before you can provision a resource you've to provision a server first. Add your inventory to the hosts folder and provision a server or group using the following command:

Example:

# Provision a server (or group)
ansible-playbook server.yml -e host=<server>

Resources

Resource playbooks use variables defined in a resource file, add your resources to the resources folder and reference the file while running a playbook. You can find resource examples in the tests folder.

# Example
ansible-playbook site.yml -e @resources/sites/my-site.yml

Available resource variables are defined in the defaults folder of a resource role and validated in the first assert task of each tasks file.

• Site variables: ./roles/site/defaults/main.yml
• User variables: ./roles/user/defaults/main.yml
• Database variables: ./roles/database/defaults/main.yml
