Ansible Playbook for installing WordPress on Nginx with Ubuntu

WordPress + Nginx Ansible Playbook

Ansible playbook and roles for installing WordPress + Nginx + PHP + Postfix server

Requirements

• Ansible 2.0.0 or newer
• Ubuntu 16.04 (installed on your web server or virtual machine)

Instructions:

0. You have properly booted a new server on the OpenStack cloud, which means you need to gather some information.

   • Write down the IP address of your server you just booted
   • Your ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub key is trusted by your new server
   • Your user is ubuntu, which is a passwdless sudoer, but when you check visudo, the user=ubuntu is NOT there. however you notice that there is an include directory: /etc/sudoers.d at the bottom of the file
   • You check /etc/sudoers.d and you notice that there is a file called 90-cloud-init-users.
   • You open /etc/sudoers.d/90-cloud-init-users
   • OK, so it looks like the "ansible-boxes" are checked, an RSA key is in place and ubuntu is a passwdless sudoer. You also have the IP address of your new server!

1. Edit your /etc/hosts file, and add a new host line like the one below EXCEPT replace 10.0.0.65 with the ip address of your new server. When your are finished, your new server will look like the /etc/hosts file below with the critical exception that the IP address will be your server, not 10.0.0.65`

   student@beachhead:~$ sudo vim /etc/hosts

   10.0.0.65 alta3.local

   127.0.0.1 beachhead localhost
   172.16.1.4 beachhead
   172.16.1.5 controller
   172.16.1.6 compute1
   172.16.1.7 compute2
   172.16.1.5 block1
   172.16.1.5 object1
   10.0.0.65 alta3.local
   
   # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
   ::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
   fe00::0 ip6-localnet
   ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
   ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
   ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
   ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
   

2. Ping alta3.local and you must be back a positive response.

   student@beachhead:~$`` ping alta3.local

   PING alta3.local (10.0.0.65) 56(84) bytes of data.
   64 bytes from alta3.local (10.0.0.65): icmp_seq=1 ttl=62 time=2.25 ms
   64 bytes from alta3.local (10.0.0.65): icmp_seq=2 ttl=62 time=0.650 ms

   64 bytes from alta3.local (10.0.0.65): icmp_seq=4 ttl=62 time=0.640 ms
   

3. Clone the repository

   student@beachhead:~$ git clone https://github.com/alta3/ansible-playbook-wordpress-nginx.git

4. cd into the new directory

   student@beachhead:~$ cd ansible-playbook-wordpress-nginx/

5. Edit the hosts file to point to alta3.local's IP address. An example of your hosts file is below, so just REAPLACE 10.0.0.65 with the IP address of your cloud host.

   student@beachhead:~/ansible-playbook-wordpress-nginx$ vim hosts

   [webservers]
   alta3.local  ansible_host=10.0.0.65 ansible_ssh_user=ubuntu
   

6. Let's run the playbook

   student@beachhead:~/ansible-playbook-wordpress-nginx$ ansible-playbook playbook.yml -i hosts

7. Let's test our web page! Open a browser to:

   http://alta3.local

8. You should be looking at a wordpress config page after being automatically redirected to http://alta3.local/wp-admin/install.php

9. Totally up to you, but if you got this far, let's configure your new web site.
