# DO Community - Ansible Playbooks
A collection of minimalist Ansible playbooks for automating server setups, based on DigitalOcean's Community guides.

- [Apache on Ubuntu 18.04](https://github.com/do-community/ansible-playbooks/tree/master/apache_ubuntu1804)

_\*the Initial Server Setup should be your starting point for fresh servers._
## Playbook Structure
The playbooks contained in this repository were created for educational purposes, and should serve as a base for you to create your own playbooks and roles.
Although we opt to not use roles, our playbooks follow a distinctive structure to facilitate reuse while keeping them mostly self-contained and straightforward.
For instance, this is how the `lemp` playbook is structured:
```
lemp_ubuntu1804
├── files
│   ├── info.php.j2
│   └── nginx.conf.j2
├── vars
│   └── default.yml
├── playbook.yml
└── readme.md
```
- `files/`: directory containing templates and other files required by the playbook.
- `vars/`: directory to save variable files. A `default.yml` var file is included by default.
- `playbook.yml`: the playbook file.
- `readme.md`: instructions and links related to this playbook.
## Getting Started
To set up your Ansible environment, please follow our guide on [How to Install and Configure Ansible on Ubuntu 18.04](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-configure-ansible-on-ubuntu-18-04).
### Connection Test
From your local machine or Ansible control node, run:
```command
ansible all -m ping -u remote_user
```
If you're able to get a "pong" reply back from your node(s), your setup works as expected and you'll be able to run both ad-hoc commands and playbooks on your nodes, using Ansible.
