This Ansible project was preceeded by ansible-hydra, a project created by Data Curation Experts for the Chemical Heritage Foundation.

Usage

Here is an example playbook that uses these roles (plus a few extra internal-to-dce roles) to build a single box running all the Samvera components:

- hosts: '{{ host }}'
  name: ensure python is installed for ansible
  user: ubuntu
  gather_facts: false
  pre_tasks:
      - name: update apt-get
        raw: sudo apt-get update
      - name: install python for ansible
        raw: sudo apt-get -y install python-simplejson

- hosts: '{{ host }}'
  name: configure server
  user: ubuntu
  gather_facts: true
  vars:
    keys_to_add:
      - https://github.com/user1.keys
      - https://github.com/user2.keys
  roles:
    - { role: packages }
    - { role: set_timezone, timezone: America/Chicago }
    - { role: set_hostname, hostname: stage-demo }
    - { role: sshd_config }
    - { role: setup_logrotation }
    - { role: clamav }
    - { role: nrpe, nrpe_version: '3.1.1', nagios_plugins_version: '2.2.1' }
    - { role: ruby, ruby_version: '2.4.2', ruby_sha_256: '93b9e75e00b262bc4def6b26b7ae8717efc252c47154abb7392e54357e6c8c9c' }
    - { role: postgres }
    - { role: fedora }
    - { role: solr, solr_version: '6.6.2' }
    - { role: pip }
    - { role: fits, fits_version: '0.8.4' }
    - { role: apache, passenger_ver: '5.1.11'}
    - { role: apache_with_mod_ssl }
    - { role: capistrano_setup }
    - { role: dotenv, hostname: stage-demo }
    - { role: sidekiq }
    - { role: imagemagick, imagemagick_ver: '7.0.7', gs_ver: '9.19', openjpg_ver: '2.1.0', libtiff_ver: '4.0.5', libpng_ver: '1.6.28' }
    - { role: ffmpeg, ffmpeg_version: '3.4' }
    - { role: solr-schema }
    - { role: first_deploy }
    - { role: dce_ssl }
    - { role: restart }
    - { role: splunkuforwarder }

An observation for minimal test installs: these packages install successfully on an AWS ubuntu server with 4 gigabytes of RAM (t3a.medium), but not on one with 1 gigabyte of RAM (a free tier "micro" server).
