Ansible Web Server Provisioning

This project provides a flexible and modular Ansible playbook collection for efficiently deploying and managing web server stacks. It's designed to automate the setup of various web server configurations, integrate with PHP-FPM, and handle SSL certificate provisioning using Let's Encrypt.

✨ Features

• Flexible Web Server Choices: Deploy with Nginx, Apache, or a combined Nginx+Apache setup (where Nginx acts as a reverse proxy).
• PHP-FPM Integration: Seamlessly configures PHP-FPM for dynamic web application serving.
• Automated SSL Certificates: Provisions and automatically renews SSL certificates from Let's Encrypt using Certbot.
• Modular & Reusable Roles: Organized into dedicated Ansible roles for nginx, apache, php-fpm, and common webserver utilities, promoting maintainability.
• Environment Management: Easily configure and manage different deployment environments (e.g., staging, production) via structured inventory files.

🚀 Quick Start

1. Clone the Repository

2. Configure Your Inventory: Edit the inventory files in the inventory/ directory (e.g., staging.yaml, host_vars/that_server.yaml, group_vars/webservers.yaml) to define your target servers, domain names, preferred web_server type, and other variables.

3. Run the Playbook:

   Execute the main playbook, specifying your inventory file:

   ansible-playbook -i inventory/staging.yaml playbooks/site.yaml --ask-become-pass

   (The --ask-become-pass flag will prompt for the sudo password on your target server.)
