Example-Ops

This is just an example of a multi-site wordpress installation on a shared host.

Installation

In order to use this platform repository you must follow a few steps:

• clone this very git repository
• install aws cli
• install the platform’s vault password in ~/.ansible/example-vault (touch ~/.ansible/example-vault` will do for now)
• install whatever ssh keys you generate and connect to github or servers and ssh-add them, for dev rack handy to ssh-add ./keys/vagrant
• install the following:
  • packer.io
  • vagrant
  • virtualbox: sudo apt-get install virtualbox
  • ansible: sudo pip install ansible (yeah globally)

VMs

We use the boxcutter ubuntu vm to build our own virtualbox images for use with vagrant. These virtual machines are located in the vagrant/ folder. The virtual machines are used for development and testing purposes.

Be sure to add this to /etc/hosts

10.0.1.2 www.dev.example.com
10.0.1.2 www.dev.exemplo.com

Features

To build things you use make you choose a playbook to run (eg. bootstrap) and execute it against a rack by prepending the playbook with @rack.

To build in the development rack (vagrant) use:

make site@dev

To build in live rack use:

make site@live

###Pro-tip!

To define a rack you need to create an inventory in the ./inventory/ directory. Use one of the existing ones as an example, then add to the Makefile a line that will point to that inventory. Which should let you target things like this:

make site@us-central
make shutdown@global

Of course, you'll have to implement these...
