Introduction

This document is prepared to give the understanding of the local setup and the execution of the Terraform and Ansible Snippets for the installation of the Mediawiki.

Local Setup Pre-requisites:

Please find the server details where the below mentioned are installed.

• Local Server Details

Operating System – Red Hat 8

• Please make sure Git , Terraform and Ansible are installed in the Local Server.

• Create or use the existing AWS Access and Secret Access Keys of the AWS Account with the administrator access associated to the IAM user. Please copy the keys and execute in the local server so that the resources are created in the AWS Infrastructure.

• Clone the Github repository in the local server machine.

https://github.com/Dileeprithvi/assesment

where we have to change the permission of the thought.pem (664) file after cloning the repository to thought.pem (600)

After completion of all the steps above, we are all set to go to run the snippets where the Terraform will create the AWS EC2 machine and wait for around 120 seconds (mentioned in the snippet), then Ansible server (i.e. local server) will connect to the newly created EC2 machine through SSH and installs the Mediawiki.

Note : I am connecting the Ansible server to the newly created EC2 machine with the private IP, because I have the resources in the same VPC and the subnet.

Mediawiki Installation

• Execute terraform init command

• Execute terraform plan command

• Execute terraform apply --auto-approve command (auto approve doesn't prompt us for the yes/no)

Accessing the Mediawiki

Verifying the Mediawiki Installation with the sample URL below:

E.g. http://<public-ip>/mediawiki/
