Requires one, or two, Ubuntu 16.04 (virtual) machine(s) with root access and a local install of Ansible 2.6.
In order to use Ansible deployment, backend and frontend hosts need to be configured in your inventory. For example:
[frontend]
my-canoncial-host.name.com
[backend]
other-or-same-host.name.com
You may refer to the hosts file by setting ANSIBLE_INVENTORY=<hosts_file> in your environment.
The bootstrap playbook will make sure sudo and Ansible are available on the machine, assuming initial SSH root access. It creates a remote SSH user with pubkey authentication and sudo rights on the server(s) and completely disables password login.
After bootstrapping, the site playbook will do common configuration, including the backend and the frontend.
Then, using , execute:
$ ansible-playbook bootstrap.yml --user root --ask-pass
$ ansible-playbook site.yml
