I've got a few little things to finish (like the Apache host definitions) but the apps are all running.</div><div><br></div><div> Is anyone else using CentOS?</div><div> Is anyone else using Ansible?</div><div><br></div><div>If so, I'll spend the time to tidy this up a bit and offer it back to the ALA team, and open the discussion if Ansible would be a suitable format for deployment going forward - my personal impression is that is a good tool for this, and would allow easier and more flexible deployments.</div><div><br></div><div>I am also using Vagrant [2] to bring up the virtual hosts on my laptop for testing. I could commit that back too, since it allows a complete working installation for testing with 2 commands:</div><div><br></div><div> $ vagrant up</div><div> $ ansible-playbook -i vagrant site.yml --private-key /Users/tim/.ssh/id_dsa</div><div><br></div><div>I'd be interested in hearing how others are doing. I've run in to a few niggly issues, but mainly because I am deviating from the procedure, in order to understand it better.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks all,</div><div>Tim</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>[1] <a href="http://www.ansible.com/home">http://www.ansible.com/home</a></div><div>[2] <a href="http://www.vagrantup.com/">http://www.vagrantup.com/</a></div><br><div apple-content-edited="true">
