Configuring the Ansible playbook

To configure the playbook, you need to have done the following things:

• have a server where services will run
• retrieved the playbook's source code to your computer

You can then follow these steps inside the playbook directory:

1. create a directory to hold your configuration (mkdir inventory/host_vars/<your-domain>)

2. copy the sample configuration file (cp examples/vars.yml inventory/host_vars/<your-domain>/vars.yml)

3. edit the configuration file (inventory/host_vars/<your-domain>/vars.yml) to your liking. You should enable one or more services in your vars.yml file. You may also take a look at the various roles/**/ROLE_NAME_HERE/defaults/main.yml files and see if there's something you'd like to copy over and override in your vars.yml configuration file.

4. copy the sample inventory hosts file (cp examples/hosts inventory/hosts)

5. edit the inventory hosts file (inventory/hosts) to your liking

When you're done with all the configuration you'd like to do, continue with Installing.
