Commonground collection for Ansible

Tools to deploy Django apps & related Common Ground components with Ansible.

Docker-on-a-VM approach

Some of the roles in this collection contribute to installing a Django app with Docker on a VM and exposing it to the outside world.

The relevant roles for this are:

django_app_docker: run the backend container(s), including Redis cache, Celery workers, Celery beat...

This will bind the container ports to the host system, ready for a reverse proxy.
django_app_nginx: provides the template for the NGINX reverse proxy. The template is inspired on maykin-deployment, and variables from django_app_docker are re-used where possible. Note that this role does NOT install or configure nginx, look into nginxinc.nginx role for that.

The architecture is so that:

Given a VM with Docker provisioned (OS flavour doesn't matter)
An isolated network is provisioned for your app
Which is then exposed via NGINX
Where SSL can be disabled.

Kubernetes

Work in progress.
