af009/ansible-autodeploy

We Create a project that uses Terraform to build the infrastructure and Ansible to automate the whole configuration of the servers and deploy our application. (Part 2)

ansible-autodeploy

Ansible automatic deploy

Terraform part: https://github.com/af009/ansible-project

Ansible part: Automatic deploy with Ansible

In this part we use Ansible to deploy our app in the infrastructure created in the first part (Terraform).

How to use?

1- Install ansible

 sudo apt update
 sudo apt install software-properties-common
 sudo add-apt-repository --yes --update ppa:ansible/ansible
 sudo apt install ansible -y

2- Clone the project

git clone https://github.com/af009/ansible-autodeploy

3- Connect the controller (machine) to the nodes

a. cd ~/.ssh

b. nano id_rsa (copy the private key here)

c. chmod 400 id_rsa (read only)

d. Create a file called inventory:

[staging]
vm1-stage ansible_port=221 ansible_host={your-node-vm-ip} ansible_user={your-vm--username}
vm2-stage ansible_port=222 ansible_host={your-node-vm-ip} ansible_user={your-vm-username}
vm3-stage ansible_port=223 ansible_host={your-node-vm-ip} ansible_user={your-vm-username}

[production]
vm1-pro ansible_port=221 ansible_host={your-node-vm-ip} ansible_user={your-vm-username}
vm2-pro ansible_port=222 ansible_host={your-node-vm-ip} ansible_user={your-vm-username}
vm3-pro ansible_port=223 ansible_host={your-node-vm-ip} ansible_user={your-vm-username}

e. Create a file called ansible.cfg:

[defaults]
inventory = inventory
private_key_file = ~/.ssh/id_rsa

f. Check the connection: ansible all -i inventory -m ping

4. Create a file called vars-stage.yml in the vars folder

---
vm_username: your vm username
PGPASSWORD: your postgres password
PGUSERNAME: your postgres username
PGHOST: your postgres host
PGPORT: 5432
PGDATABASE: your postgres DB name
PORT: 8080
HOST: 0.0.0.0
NODE_ENV: development
HOST_URL: Your host URL
COOKIE_ENCRYPT_PWD: superAwesomePasswordStringThatIsAtLeast32CharactersLong!
OKTA_ORG_URL: your Okta URL
OKTA_CLIENT_ID: your Okta ID
OKTA_CLIENT_SECRET: your Okta Secret

5. Create a file called vars-prod.yml in the vars folder

---
vm_username: your vm username
PGPASSWORD: your postgres password
PGUSERNAME: your postgres username
PGHOST: your postgres host
PGPORT: 5432
PGDATABASE: your postgres DB name
PORT: 8080
HOST: 0.0.0.0
NODE_ENV: development
HOST_URL: Your host URL
COOKIE_ENCRYPT_PWD: superAwesomePasswordStringThatIsAtLeast32CharactersLong!
OKTA_ORG_URL: your Okta URL
OKTA_CLIENT_ID: your Okta ID
OKTA_CLIENT_SECRET: your Okta Secret

6. ansible-playbook -i inventory playbook.yaml (Execute the playbook)

7. Done!
