Basically, when using conditionals or variables in your tasks you should use include_tasks instead of import_tasks. The down side is that you now need to tag all included tasks individually or with a block, unlike when using static imports (tags are applied to all imported child tasks). I would actually like to reduce this task to a single one that uses the host's ansible_distribution variable, but Ansible 2.5.1 currently gives the following error: ansible_distribution is undefined.
Ansible Playbook
Ansible playbook for base and initial configuration of the 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 Debian 9 or Ubuntu 16.04 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
Todo
- Update packages for Ubuntu 18.04 (mariadb, nginx, tarsnap currently using packages for 17.10 artful)
