My WordPress blogs have a /wordpress subdirectory in the document
root, but I don't serve from the /wordpress URI.
Technically, all we need is the tweaks to the try_files:
- `?args` passes query strings to php5-fpm
- removing 404 from the vhost's try_files so we don't return 404
when the requested file doesn't exist (obviously not all request
URI's in WordPress are actual files on the disk)

Ansible Playbook
Ansible playbook for base and initial configuration of web server hosting my personal websites. After successful execution of this playbook, however, there is still some manual work to import databases, copy site content, etc.
Assumptions
Before you can run this, a few things are assumed:
- You have a clean, minimal Ubuntu 14.04 host up and running
- You have a user account with password-less SSH access to the machine
- You have sudo privileges on the remote host
- You have created a
hostsfile with something like:
[web]
web01
Use
Once you've satisfied the the above assumptions, you can execute:
ansible-playbook web.yml -i hosts -K
Testing in a VM
A simple way to test locally in a virtual machine using libvirt + KVM:
sudo virt-install -n web01 -r 1024 --vcpus 2 -l http://ubuntu.mirror.ac.ke/ubuntu/dists/trusty/main/installer-amd64/ --os-type=linux --os-variant=ubuntusaucy --disk /home/aorth/software/vms/web01.qcow2,device=disk,bus=virtio,format=qcow2,size=40 --vnc --cpuset=1,2 -x "auto=true priority=critical url=http://blah.com/~aorth/preseed/public/ubuntu-14.04.cfg"
This boots from a network Ubuntu mirror, then uses a preseed to automate the OS installation.
