Ansible Wordpress Installation

Introduction

This is repo is result of project on Advanced DevOps course. It consists Ansible playbooks for installing Wordpress site with some additional configuration. For completing this project I created CentOS 8 virtual machine with additional disk and additional network adapter with separate network that is used to connect to VM from workstation. Each task is in separate playbook named according to the task they complete.

Tasks

These are the tasks that were defined in project

1. Check for available updates to the VM and if they exist list them. Update all packages to the latest version.
2. Create two users with the details from the users.txt file.
3. Install the LAMP stack by using PHP7. Install the PHP modules listed in the task_3.txt file.
4. Configure banner and motd files on test VM using file task_4_banner.j2 and task_4_motd.txt
5. Install PHP 7 and configure PHP configuration files in the default configuration directory
6. Configure firewalld to set the public interface to the public zone. It should allow services mysqld, http and https.
7. Configure firewalld to allow public IPs with /32 prefix from task_7.txt to access the public interface.
8. Configure the second disk to be added to a volume group with a custom name, with a logical volume using the max capacity of the volume group. Logical volume should be mounted to /var/www/html. All the data about LVM configuration should be passed to the playbook through a file called vars.yaml you will create (VG name, LVM name, directory name, permissions, SELinux context).
9. Install MySQL and create two users db_admin and wordpress. Grant them all permissions and set passwords for them and for the root user. Passwords should be stored inside a vault file you create and encrypt with password redhat. User names should be passed in from a task_9_users.txt file you will create.
10. Create a role that will test if all the components configured in the previous steps are working and are configured correctly. (Not solved)
11. Create a role that will install WordPress and redis. WordPress should be stored in /var/www/html. The owner of that directory should be apache. Directory permissions, ACLs and default ACLs should reference the apache user as the owner. Redis should be configured with maxmemory 256mb and maxmemory-policy allkeys-lru. A hash key called student should be created in redis with two fields name and surname containing your name and surname.
