TU Libraries Ansible Playbook Template

This repository will help you generate a new Ansible playbook for a TU Libraries application.

Generating a new playbook

Run the ./bin/generate_playbook command passing in the name of the application this will be a playbook for as a command line argument.

./bin/generate_playbook some-application

This will create a new playbook in the generated directory named ansible-playbook-some-application.

This generated playbook will contain:

• a basic README.md
• an inventory directory with vagrant, qa, staging, and prod inventories.
• a roles directory where external roles will be stored (but not version controlled).
• a playbook.yml for composing the main logic for your playbook.
• a .circleci directory containing config for running basic tests on the playbook.
• a requirements.yml for external roles that will be used by this playbook.
• an ansible.cfg file that is common to TU Libraries playbooks
• a Pipfile and .python-version for python requirements, like the ansible version to use
• a .gitignore

For more detail on what that playbook contains, see the README added as part of the new playbook
