Ansible Role: Aegir

Installs Aegir, a control panel for deploying and managing large networks of Drupal sites.

Requirements

A MySQL server is required. This server can be installed on the same machine, or a separate one (hence why this isn't listed as a dependency.) See the 'Example Playbook' section below for a simple method of installing a mysql server with Ansible. If this role is not present, then the mysql_root_usernameand mysql_root_password variables must be set.

Role Variables

Available variables are listed below, along with default values (see defaults/main.yml):

aegir_db_username: "{{ mysql_root_username }}"

The name of the Aegir database user. Defaults to the value of mysql_root_username.

aegir_db_password: "{{ mysql_root_password }}"

The password for the Aegir database user. Defaults to the value of mysql_root_password.

Dependencies

ergonlogic.drush (Installs Drush).

Example Playbook

- hosts: servers
  roles:
    - geerlingguy.mysql
    - ergonlogic.aegir

After the playbook runs, the Aegir front-end site will be available, as will the Drush extensions (Provision, et. al.) that do the heavy lifting.
