Sample Ansible Playbook for Rack applications that installs Nginx, Passenger, Ruby 2.0.0 (or 1.9.3), Bundler, and git. It also demonstrates how to deploy a basic Rack application using Ansible.

mazer-rackham

Sample Ansible Playbook for Rack applications that installs Nginx, Passenger, and Ruby 2.0.0 (or 1.9.3). It also demonstrates how to deploy a basic Rack application from a git repository.

Specifically, it does the following:

Upgrades packages
Installs a few crucial programs like git, NTP, and Vim
Creates a deploy user that the application files will belong to
Adds an SSH public key to the deploy user's Authorized Keys file
Reconfigures OpenSSH to only allow access via SSH keys
Installs Ruby 2.0.0 (or 1.9.3)
Installs Bundler
Installs Nginx + Passenger
Sets up and enables an Nginx vhost
Creates all necessary application directories
Uses git to checkout the latest revision of the imgur-display codebase
Creates required symlinks
Uses bundler to install all Gem dependencies

Running this playbook will leave you with a fully-functional Rack application server that is ready to show you a random picture from imgur. With some incredibly minor adjustments, this playbook will deploy your own application! It's my hope that this will be helpful to anyone who needs to set up a similar server using Ansible.

This playbook will run on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and higher, and also works on Debian 7.

Enjoy!

Testing this playbook with Vagrant

Install Ansible
- This playbook frequently uses new Ansible features, so installing the development version is recommended. The two commands below will get you up and running quickly; run them from the directory of your choice (e.g. ~/github).
- git clone [email protected]:ansible/ansible.git
- source ansible/hacking/env-setup
Download and install Vagrant
Copy or rename Vagrantfile.example to Vagrantfile
Copy or rename ansible_hosts.example to ansible_hosts
Comment out the user: root line from imgur-display-setup.yml and uncomment the two lines below Vagrant setup
Run vagrant up in a terminal from within this folder
When the Ansible provisioning completes, visit http://localhost:8080/ in your host machine's browser to view the running Rack app
Run vagrant halt to shutdown the VM
Run vagrant destroy to delete the VM's data
