Webapp

Deploy a web application using buildpacks.

This role is designed to deploy web applications in an environment similar to PaaS (Platform as a Service) using:

• Heroku buildpacks.
• Directory structure similar to Capistrano.
• Configuration options set as environment variables.
• Systemd for managing processes.

It supports multiple buildpacks, which allows for applications that use various programming languages or require utilities written in a different language than the main application.

Requirements

Check meta/main.yml.

Role Variables

Look at defaults/main.yml.

Dependencies

None.

Example Playbook

Here’s an example:

- hosts: servers

TODO

• Make the use of environment variables more general using env.d and Ansible's assemble module.
• Support alternatives to systemd, such as monit, supervisor, pm2, etc.
• Fix issues with idempotency for Capistrano-like directories.
• Write documentation for defaults.
