Day 59: Ansible Project

• Create a playbook to install Nginx

• deploy a sample webpage using the ansible playbook

Prerequisite: Make sure you have set up two server instances and one master instance as explained in my previous blogs(Day 57 and Day 58)

Don't forget to update your inventory before proceeding.

create install_ngnix.yml using vim

---
- name: Install Nginx and deploy sample webpage
  hosts: webserver
  become: true
  tasks:
    - name: Install Nginx
      apt:
        name: nginx
        state: present

    - name: Deploy sample webpage
      copy:
        src: /home/ubuntu/playbook/website/
        dest: /var/www/html/
        owner: www-data
        group: www-data
        mode: 0755
      notify:
        - Restart Nginx
      notify:
        - Restart Nginx

  handlers:
    - name: Restart Nginx
      service:
        name: nginx
        state: restarted

Ps : I have my website in website folder.

now run playbook using following command

ansible-playbook install_ngnix.yml

After execution, you can check the IP address of your server:

That was all for today's tasks. See you another day with another challenge.
