Usage

Quick Start

1. Install Python dependencies using virtualenv:

   $ virtualenv venv
   $ source venv/bin/activate
   (venv) $ pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Install Ansible dependencies:

   $ ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml

3. Copy inventory.sample.yml:

   $ cp inventory{.sample,}.yml

4. Edit your inventory.yml:

   # Feel free to use your preferred editor
   $ vi inventory.yml

   In the inventory.yml file created in the last step, you will need to edit the placeholder values. At minimum, you will need to change the reference to domain.tld: under hosts:

   $ diff inventory.sample.yml inventory.yml
   22c22
   <     domain.tld:
   ---
   >     a-real-domain.tld:

5. Run the playbook:

   $ ansible-playbook -i inventory.yml site.yml
