WordPress+Nginx+PHP-FPM Deployment
- Requires Ansible 1.2 or newer
- Expects CentOS/RHEL 6.x hosts
These playbooks deploy a simple all-in-one configuration of the popular
WordPress blogging platform and CMS, frontend by the Nginx web server and the
PHP-FPM process manager. To use, copy the hosts.example file to hosts and
edit the hosts inventory file to include the names or URLs of the servers
you want to deploy.
Then run the playbook, like this:
ansible-playbook -i hosts site.yml
The playbooks will configure MySQL, WordPress, Nginx, and PHP-FPM. When the run is complete, you can hit access server to begin the WordPress configuration.
Ideas for Improvement
Here are some ideas for ways that these playbooks could be extended:
- Parameterize the WordPress deployment to handle multi-site configurations.
- Separate the components (PHP-FPM, MySQL, Nginx) onto separate hosts and handle the configuration appropriately.
- Handle WordPress upgrades automatically.
