bedrock-ansible is a set of Ansible playbooks to automatically configure servers and deploy WordPress sites. It easily creates development environments with Vagrant to help achieve development & production parity.

Configure complete Bedrock-based WordPress ready servers with a single command:

bedrock-ansible will configure a server with the following and more:

• Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty LTS
• Nginx
• PHP 5.6 (or HHVM)
• MariaDB as a drop-in MySQL replacement (but better)
• sSMTP (mail delivery)
• Memcached
• Composer
• WP-CLI
• Fail2ban
• ferm

• Ansible >= 1.8 - Installation docs
• Virtualbox >= 4.3.10 - Downloads
• Vagrant >= 1.5.4 - Downloads
• Vagrant-bindfs >= 0.3.1 - Docs (Windows users may skip this)

1. Download/fork/clone this repo to your local machine.
2. Run ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml -p vendor/roles to install external Ansible roles/packages.
3. Download/fork/clone Bedrock or have an existing Bedrock-based site ready.

You should now have the following directories at the same level somewhere:

project/                - Primary folder for the project
├── bedrock-ansible/    - Your version of this repo
└── example.com/        - A Bedrock-based site

Note: The full paths to these directories must not contain spaces or else Ansible will fail.

1. Edit group_vars/development and add your WordPress sites
2. Run vagrant up

For remote servers you'll need to have a base Ubuntu 14.04 server already created.

1. Edit group_vars/<environment> and add your WordPress sites
2. Edit hosts/<environment> and add your server IP/hostnames
3. Run ansible-playbook -i hosts/<environment> server.yml

1. Run ./deploy.sh <environment> <site name>
2. To rollback a deploy, run ansible-playbook -i hosts/<environment> rollback.yml --extra-vars="site=<site name>"

HHVM can be used instead of PHP 5.6 by setting hhvm: true in group_vars/all.

In the environment files inside the group_vars directory, wordpress_sites is the top level dictionary used to define the WordPress sites/virtual hosts that will be created.

• site_hosts - hosts that Nginx will listen on
• local_path - path targeting Bedrock-based site directory
• env - environment variables
  • wp_home - WP_HOME constant
  • wp_siteurl - WP_SITEURL constant
  • wp_env - WordPress environment
  • db_name - database name
  • db_user - database username
  • db_password - database password
  • db_host - database hostname
  • domain_current_site (required for multisite)

Additional options:

• admin_password - WP admin user password
• admin_email - WP admin email address
• site_install - whether to install WordPress or not
• site_title - WP site title
• db_create - whether to auto create a database or not
• db_import - Path to local sql dump file which will be imported
• system_cron - Disable WP cron and use system's
• admin_user - WP admin user name
• multisite - hash of multisite options
  • enabled - Multisite enabled flag
  • subdomains - subdomains option
  • base_path - base path/current site path

Outgoing mail is done by the sSMTP role. Configure SMTP credentials in group_vars/all.

The secure-root.yml playbook is provided to help secure your remote servers including better SSH security. See the Wiki for Locking down root.
