Remove provisioning user management 
It's just too tricky to manage this. Ubuntu / RedHat preseeds and
kickstarts can create the user and add it to groups, but only when
we control the initial boot environment (ie not on Linode, Digital
Ocean, etc), so let's just say we assume this user exists and can
get root with sudo by the some we are running ansible on it.

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 hosts file 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 (KVM)

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.

Testing in Vagrant

Not as simple as on GNU/Linux with KVM, but still easy:

vagrant init ubuntu/trusty64

Then uncomment the following line in your Vagrantfile:

# Create a public network, which generally matched to bridged network.
# Bridged networks make the machine appear as another physical device on
# your network.
config.vm.network "public_network"

And finally, bring the machine up:

vagrant up
