DevOps Classroom Series – 03/Aug/2020

Ansible Modules (Contd..)

• Lets try to install lamp stack on ubuntu 18.04 and centos 7
• Lets create a hosts file with the following entries with centos and ubuntu as group names

[centos]
172.31.4.122

[ubuntu]
172.31.3.192

• Lets create lamp_centos.yaml

---
- name: install lamp stack on Centos
  become: yes
  hosts: centos
  tasks:
    - name: install apache
      yum:
        name: httpd
        state: present
    - name: start and enable apache
      service:
        name: httpd
        enabled: yes
        state: started

• Lets create lamp_ubuntu.yaml file

---
- name: 'Install and configure lamp'
  hosts: ubuntu
  become: yes
  tasks:
    - name: install apache2 and update ubuntu package definitions
      apt:
        name: apache2
        update_cache: yes
        state: present
    - name: enable and start apache2
      service:
        name: apache2
        enabled: yes
        state: started

• Now lets execute playbook on centos group

ansible-playbook -i hosts lamp_centos.yaml

• If you need more logs execute the following commands

ansible-playbook -v -i hosts lamp_centos.yaml
ansible-playbook -vv -i hosts lamp_centos.yaml
ansible-playbook -vvv -i hosts lamp_centos.yaml

• Now navigate to http://publicurl:centos
• Now lets execute the lamp yaml written so far on ubuntu

ansible-playbook -i hosts lamp_ubuntu.yaml

• Now navigate to http://publicurl:ubuntu
• Groups in inventory file are for logical grouping of servers

[webserver]
192.168.10.11
192.168.10.111
192.168.10.112
192.168.10.113

[dbserver]
192.168.10.10
192.168.10.102
192.168.10.103
192.168.10.104

• Now for centos & ubuntu we will be skipping mysql installation.
• For centos node the php packages which we need to install are
  • php
  • php-mysql
  • php-fpm
• Lets try to restart apache, Now the centos yaml will look like

---
- name: install lamp stack on Centos
  become: yes
  hosts: centos
  tasks:
    - name: install apache
      yum:
        name: httpd
        state: present
    - name: start and enable apache
      service:
        name: httpd
        enabled: yes
        state: started
    - name: install php
      yum:
        name: php
        state: present
    - name: install php-mysql
      yum:
        name: php-mysql
        state: present
    - name: install php-fpm
      yum:
        name: php-fpm
        state: present
    - name: restart apache
      service:
        name: httpd
        state: restarted

• For ubuntu we need to install the following php packages and restart apache
  • php
  • libapache2-mod-php
  • php-mysql
  • php-cli
• Now the lamp_ubuntu.yaml will be like

---
- name: 'Install and configure lamp'
  hosts: ubuntu
  become: yes
  tasks:
    - name: install apache2 and update ubuntu package definitions
      apt:
        name: apache2
        update_cache: yes
        state: present
    - name: enable and start apache2
      service:
        name: apache2
        enabled: yes
        state: started
    - name: install php
      apt:
        name: php
        state: present
    - name: install libapache2-mod-php
      apt:
        name: libapache2-mod-php
        state: present
    - name: install php-mysql
      apt:
        name: php-mysql
        state: present
    - name: install php-cli
      apt:
        name: php-cli
        state: present
    - name: restart apache
      service:
        name: apache2
        state: restarted

• Now lets execute this playbook

ansible-playbook -i hosts lamp_ubuntu.yaml
ansible-playbook -i hosts lamp_centos.yaml

• We still have work on lamp stack left, but we have following questions to be addressed
  1. Why should i copy paste tasks with different values? Can’t i use some thing like looping structure

  - name: install php-mysql
    yum:
      name: php-mysql
      state: present
  - name: install php-fpm
    yum:
      name: php-fpm
      state: present
  

  2. Why should i write different playbooks per os, can’t we write one?
