Flow Manager

Installs and configures a GPII Flow Manager instance in cloud-based mode, using the nodejs role.

Most of the work to install the Flow Manager itself is done through passing appropriate defaults to the ansible-nodejs role; this role really only does Flow Manager-specific things, as opposed to general "install and configure a nodejs application" tasks that the other role can handle. Specifically:

the universal cloudBased.production config is updated appropriately to the relevant Preferences Server host
the Flow Manager cloudBased.development.all.local.json config is updated appropriately to the relevant Preferences Server host

At time of writing, the production configuration of cloud-based Flow Manager does not require URLs for the matchmakers, and they are thus not part of the role.

Requirements

A running preferences server is expected and must be configured in the role variables (see below)

Role Variables

flow_manager_preferences_server_host_address: preferences server host address (default: "preferences.gpii.net") flow_manager_environment: GPII environment; this shouldn't be changed under normal circumstances for this role (Default: "cloudBased.production")

Dependencies

Example Playbook

Including an example of how to use your role (for instance, with variables passed in as parameters) is always nice for users too:

- hosts: flowmanager
  roles:
     - { role: ansible-flow-manager, preferences_server_couchdb_host_address: preferences.gpii.net }
