A script to automate the installation and the set up of a Decidim instance

Decidim-Ansible

This Ansible playbook sets up all the necessary components for your Decidim app and installs it from a pre-generated app sitting on a git repo.

To make it work with your app, you need to set a handful of things:

• Sidekiq
• Figaro
• Passenger

Requirements

• Ansible >= 2.8

This playbook relies on a few roles from Ansible Galaxy. You can install them with:

ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml

Role Variables

All role variables can be overridden in custom_settings/vars.yml. An example file is provided

Role variables which are not provided will be read from default values. They can be found in roles/common_settings/default/main.yml.

Quick start

• Create a clean Ubuntu 20.04 server
• Install the dependencies (see above)
• Run the playbook with a provided server's IP address (complete_install: false) or with automatic provisioning by providing at least a Hetzner token (hetzner_token).

Credits

Made with a lot of help from:

• Ivan Verges and Platoniq's guide to install Decidim
• Claude Durocher and his install scripts.

decidim-ansible's Issues

Add www DNS in addition to the original one

Some users instinctively add www in front of our platform URLs. If we don't add a redirect in the DNS, their browser doesn't resolve the actual address of the platform.

In the Gandi DNS script, add one more DNS entry to redirect www. to the actual URL.
