Example Playbook

This example is taken from molecule/default/converge.yml and is tested on each push, pull request and release.

---
- name: Converge
  hosts: all
  become: yes
  gather_facts: yes

  roles:
    - role: robertdebock.httpd
      # https_ssl_enable: yes
      httpd_port: 8080
      httpd_ssl_port: 8443
      httpd_locations:
        - name: mylocation1
          location: /mylocation1

The machine needs to be prepared in CI this is done using molecule/default/prepare.yml:

---
- name: Prepare
  hosts: all
  gather_facts: no
  become: yes

  roles:
    - role: robertdebock.bootstrap
    - role: robertdebock.epel
    - role: robertdebock.buildtools
    - role: robertdebock.python_pip
    - role: robertdebock.openssl
      openssl_items:
        - name: apache-httpd
          common_name: "{{ ansible_fqdn }}"

Also see a full explanation and example on how to use these roles.

Role Variables

These variables are set in defaults/main.yml:

---
# defaults file for httpd

# The servername to use.
httpd_servername: "{{ ansible_fqdn }}"

# The non-SSL port to use.
httpd_port: 80

# Enable (self-signed certificates) SSL?
https_ssl_enable: no

# To configure https, set the hostname to listen to.
httpd_ssl_servername: "{{ ansible_fqdn }}"

# For SSL a TCP port is required.
httpd_ssl_port: 443

# SSL Certificate:
httpd_openssl_crt: "{{ httpd_openssl_crt_directory }}/apache-httpd.crt"

# SSL Key
httpd_openssl_key: "{{ httpd_openssl_key_directory }}/apache-httpd.key"
