Getting Started

To get the project up and running locally, follow these steps:

Terraform Setup

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/ayodele-ademeso/brainstorm-task.git
   cd brainstorm-task
   cd terraform

2. Create a terraform.tfvars file with the variables listed in variables.tf

3. Initialize Terraform to download provider plugins from HashiCorp's official registry:

   terraform init

4. Run

   terraform plan

5. Then run

   terraform apply

   Enter yes when prompted.

Ansible Setup

2. Modify the inventory.yaml and ansible.cfg files to update the hosts IP, and the ssh-key file.
3. Run the ansible playbook command

   ansible-playbook -i inventory.yaml lemp-config.yaml

Wordpress Deployment

There is a Github action that copies your updated wordpress files in wordpress whenever a change is made.

Excluded files

Certain sensitive files have been excluded from this repository, including:

.pem files in the root folder and ansible folder. You should create your SSH key pairs and update the Terraform and Ansible configurations accordingly.
