Building a simple LAMP stack and deploying Application using Ansible Playbooks.
-------------------------------------------
This playbooks is meant to be a reference and starters guide to building Ansible Playbooks. These playbooks were tested on Centos 6.x so we recommend Centos to test these modules.
### Installing Ansible
Running this playbook requires setting up Ansible first, luckily this is a very simple process on Centos 6.x:
Generate/Synchronize your ssh keys(Optional you can pass -k parameter to prompt for password)
ssh-keygen -t rsa
cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
Create a sample inventory file (File containing the hostnames)
echo "localhost" > ansible_hosts
Test if we are setup properly
ansible -i ansible_hosts localhost -m ping
localhost | success >> {
"changed": false,
"ping": "pong"
}
Now we setup our Lamp Stack, The stack can be on a single node or multiple nodes. The inventory file 'hosts' defines the nodes in which the stacks should be configured.
[webservers]
localhost
[dbservers]
bensible
Here the webserver would be configured on the localhost and the dbserver on bensible. The stack can be deployed using the following command.
