Announce

Long time no update. I'm back on this playbook again, I'll be merging fixes (url, key checking,...) in master and releasing a working tagged version.

Then I'll focus on creating a next branche that will be the version 2.0 of this playbook. The main things I plan to do with the version 2 is going to separate the installation steps from the pure configuration. I don't want to support a gazillion OS in one playbook. Thus, you'll be able to make a ansible-playbook-rabbitmq-install-my-little-snowflak-os yourself :)

Thank you all for all the participation!

Rabbitmq Playbook

Playbook to install and configure rabbitmq. Will come with various configuration tweaking later on.

If you wish to discuss modifications, or help to support more platforms, open an issue.

Installation

Use Ansible galaxy to install this playbook:

$ ansible-galaxy install Mayeu.RabbitMQ,1.4.0

The master branch should currently be considered instable. Please avoid using it for something else than test purpose :)

Supported system

Currently only Debian Jessie and Wheezy on amd64 are supported. Patch welcome to support other distribution or OS.

Semantic versioning 2.0.0

Starting with the commit 67c608826a140868a71854ce3129b5f3d67ddcce, this playbook use semantic versioning. Following the specification, and since the playbook is used in production and I want to avoid breaking the compatibility, the first version number is 1.0.0

The public API defined in the semantic versioning correspond to the settings available to the user. Breaking the API (incrementing from X.Y.Z to (X+1).Y.Z) in this context mean that the user need to change variable name for its playbook to run.

Any new feature added (from X.Y.Z to X.(Y+1).Z) should have a working default value that need no user interaction by default. If a feature addition require user interaction, then it is not a minor upgrade, but a major one.

You have to put the needed certificates in your files/ folder, for example:

files/
 |- cacert.crt
 |- myserver_key.key
 |- myserver_cert.crt

And then configure the role:

    rabbitmq_cacert: files/cacert.crt
    rabbitmq_server_key: files/myserver_key.key
    rabbitmq_server_cert: files/myserver_cert.crt

Testing

There is some tests that try to provision a VM using Vagrant. Just launch them with:

$ vagrant up # for test with Debian jessie
$ export VAGRANT_BOX_NAME='chef/centos-6.5' vagrant up # for test with Centos

You can change the VM used during test by setting the VAGRANT_BOX_NAME env variable to something else than deb/jessie.
