My Ansible Playbooks

This is just my repository of playbooks.

• create-user.yml
  • Creates a user with a password, a MySql DB, and an Apache virtual host.

Setup Ansible

sudo aptitude -y install git python-jinja2 python-yaml python-mysqldb python-paramiko python-software-properties software-properties-common
add-apt-repository ppa:rquillo/ansible
aptitude update && aptitude install ansible
echo "localhost" > /etc/ansible/hosts

You can now test by typing:

ansible -c local -m ping all

You should see:

localhost | success >> {
    "changed": false, 
    "ping": "pong"
}

Install passlib (for create-user.yml)

wget https://passlib.googlecode.com/files/passlib-1.6.1.tar.gz
tar -zxvf passlib-1.6.1.tar.gz
cd passlib-1.6.1
python setup.py install

Check my.cnf

You may need to set up a ~/.my.cnf file for the user you'll run this as (you'll probably need the user specified in the file, not just the password!):

[client]
user=root
password="mypassword"

Run the play

By executing the following, it will setup only the commonly used components:

ansible-playbook -c local --tags="common,mysql,apache,file" ./create-user.yml

You can also just run the run-all script.
