Simple Flask app setup with Vagrant and Ansible

Flask-Vagrant-Setup

Configure a Flask app on a VM using Vagrant, with provisioning handled by Ansible i.e setting up python, virtualenv, nginx, gunicorn, etc.

Prerequisite

You need to install:

• Git
• Vagrant

I will be using VirtualBox for this setup, you can grab a copy for your OS here.

Quick start

1. clone this repo and cd into it:

git clone [email protected]:clovisphere/Flask-Vagrant-Setup.git && cd Flask-Vagrant-Setup

2. Boot up your Vagrant environment:

vagrant up

(*) If you get an HTTP 500, try doing a:

vagrant up --provision or vagrant reload --provision

This may take less or more than a minute depending on your internet connection (so be patient).

Vagrant runs the virtual machine without a UI. To prove that it is running, you can SSH into the machine:

vagrant ssh

You'd be seeing a welcome message like:

Welcome to Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.13.0-139-generic x86_64)
.
.
.
.

Now logout by typing: logout

Access app

Point your browser to: http://10.0.0.5, you'd see a fancy "Hello" message:-)
