WordPress + Nginx Ansible Playbook

Ansible playbook and roles for installing WordPress + Nginx + PHP + Postfix server

Requirements

• Ansible 2.0.0 or newer
• Ubuntu 20.04 (installed on your web server or virtual machine)

Instructions:

1. Clone the repository

$ git clone https://github.com/shamchittesh/ansible-wordpress-nginx-playbook.git
$ cd /wordpress-nginx

a. change env variables

1.Edit wp_db_name/user/password variables 2.edit your desired wordpress version install 3.change server_hostname to your desired domain name

$ vi group_vars/all

2. Set the web server IP address

Create a hosts file to set your web server's IP or move hosts.example to hosts if you're using vagrant:

mv hosts.example hosts

Change 192.168.100.10 to your server's URL or the IP address of your virtual machine:

[web-server]
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

3. Run the playbook

$ ansible-playbook playbook.yml -i hosts -u YOUR_REMOTE_USER_ID

This tells ansible to use the inventory file we've called "hosts". If you're using vagrant you can run the same command as above but exclude the username and sudo prompt:

$ ansible-playbook playbook.yml -i hosts

5. Finish the install

Open your web browser and navigate to your webserver's IP (http://) to finish the WordPress installation.
