Server Configuration with Ansible

Playbooks and roles that provision a fleet of web servers identically

1-2 weeks build

Overview

Configure five servers the way you would configure one. Ansible roles install and harden the base system, set up Nginx and the app, and open only the ports that are needed, all from an inventory grouped by role. Running the playbook a second time changes nothing, which is the point. The fleet is a set of local Vagrant VMs, so no cloud account is needed, though the same playbooks run on free-tier instances.

What makes it stand up

  • 01Reusable roles for base setup, hardening, Nginx and the app
  • 02Idempotent playbooks, shown by a second run that changes nothing
  • 03Inventory groups and variables for web and database hosts
  • 04Secrets kept in Ansible Vault, not in the repository in plain text
  • 05Rolling updates that take one server out at a time

Module breakdown
