This respository contains the various ansible playbooks that SIG.com utilizes to automate deploying and scaling of the various projects. For more information on how ansible works, please look here. This documentation will assume prior knowledge to ansible and will not attempt to teach various concepts or terminology that anisble uses.
In order to setup ansible on your machine, simply download any supported python version from here or your package manager with pip. For Ubuntu 16.04, the following commands will download python:
sudo apt install python3 python3-pipAnsible is just a python package so use pip to install the ansible
package like so:
pip3 install ansibleIn order to deploy the entire website onto a single node, run the following command:
ansible-playbook -i <inventory file> site.yml --ask-become-passCurrently, the only playbook which we are utilizing is the site.yml playbook.
In this playbook, the entirety of the stack (django, postgreSQL, nginx, uwsgi)
is deployed onto a single node. The acm.mst.edu repository is cloned to
/var/django/<build_url>/ where <build_url> is the url located in the nginx
server_name configuration option.
