Move Debian.yml vars to Ubuntu.yml 
I was using ansible_os_family to get settings for Debian-family
hosts, but this doesn't work so well when you have an apt_mirror
which is only Debian or Ubuntu, for example.

I don't have any Debian hosts here, but anyways, it's better this
way so I can be more flexible in the future.

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
