ansible-web

Introduction

Deploying has something very repetitive and painful. Create a domain, clone project, install dependencies, etc. I built this to help me deploy things faster.

Requirements

Make sure you have the following dependencies installed

• ansible
• git

As an additional requirement, you need to have a root user in the server you'll deploy, and you need to be able to log in with that user via ssh.

How to use

Review the playbooks, and edit accordingly, maybe you'll not need to build your project every time or there's some missing task.

First run

Only use this playbook once per server. It'll create an SSH key and a new user in your server.

1. Replace the variables marked between <> in playbooks/groups/firstrun.yml
2. Update the ./hosts file to something like

[foo]

foo.com

3. Run the playbook

ansible-playbook -i hosts playbooks/groups/firstrun.yml

Preparations per domain

1. Make sure you don't publish private information, I'd recommend deleting the .git folder just to be sure.
2. Rename your_domain_.com* files to resemble your domain, i.e. foo.com.yml
3. Replace the <your_hosts> to the host you created in ./hosts, i.e. foo.
4. Replace the <your_domain.com> to your actual domain, i.e. foo.com

First deploy

Run this playbook only when deploying a project for the first time. It'll configure the nginx domain in your server, and install all required dependencies

ansible-playbook -i hosts playbooks/groups/<your_domain.com_first_deploy.yml>

Deploy a new version

Run this whenever you have an update for your code and need to deploy.

ansible-playbook -i hosts playbools/groups/<your_domain.com.yml>
