Ansible Playbook

WOW – Way of working:

• we need find out manual steps what work need to do
• ensure manual commands need to work
• create yaml playbook for Activity

sudo apt update && sudo apt install apache2 -y 
sudo apt install wget unzip -y 
#  https://templatemo.com/
cd /tmp
sudo wget https://templatemo.com/tm-zip-files-2020/templatemo_586_scholar.zip
sudo unzip templatemo_586_scholar.zip
sudo cp -rf templatemo_586_scholar/* /var/www/html/
sudo rm -rf /tmp/templatemo_586_scholar /tmp/templatemo_586_scholar.zip
sudo systemctl restart apache2 
sudo systemctl enable apache2 

Create new ubuntu

1. install ansible
2. created ssh-keygen
3. cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
