<p>It's been a while since I used Ansible.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I used it for automating infrastructure and deploying applications.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><a href="/presentations/deploying-php-ansible-ansistrano">I gave a talk about it</a> on several occasions, including remotely for the Ansible London meetup during COVID.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I haven't had to use it recently but, today, I <a href="https://github.com/opdavies/oliverdavies.uk/commit/cd6575c6fcc091a0b7c98b6985b3a92b85e279e3">brought it back</a> out of my toolkit.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I was reviewing how I manage my website's configuration and files and Ansible seemed to be a perfect choice.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The files need to be uploaded to the server and, to handle redirects, I also have a custom NGINX virtual host configuration that needs to be uploaded if I change it and the NGINX service reloaded.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Ansible is a great tool for this type of task and, just because it's a tool I haven't used it for a while, that doesn't mean I can't re-evaluate it and see if fits my current requirements.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>It's still in my toolkit, just in case I need it.</p>
