ansible-playbook-scaffolding

This repos holds a skeleton/scaffolding structure for creating Ansible playbooks based on the recommended directory layout. To use this just clone this repo and name it to whatever you want, remove the .git folder, and start creating your playbook.

How to Use

To use this playbook just run this command.

1. ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml -p roles/ --force
2. Create a file called .vault_pass in this folder and put a random string in it for decrypting your sensitive variables. Something like: QSkngTv#KTJ=WXpg6qVR
3. Fill out needed variables in vars/all_vars.yml and vars/vault.yml files
4. ansible-vault encrypt vars/vault.yml   #Encrypt the sensitive variables
5. ansible-playbook master.yml -e @vars/all_vars.yml -e @vars/vault.yml -i hosts/production

Requirements

Place any requirements here, if any, for running this playbook.

Variables

See the vars/all_vars.yml and var/vault.yml files for all of the needed variable values to fill out.

Roles

If you plan to create any roles for this playbook and not just pull in ones you have already written or public ones from Ansible Galaxy, then I would highly recommend using the Ansible Galaxy CLI to create the proper scaffolding/skeleton structure for each of your roles.

ansible-galaxy init name-of-your-role
