Ansible playbook to deploy a personal server with Dockerized apps

• knitatoms 13y ago
  Author here: this is a bit like Alex Payne's 'sovereign' project but using Docker containers for apps. It's a bit rough around the edges but if any one would like to give it a go, the Docs are fairly easy to follow and you'll have a fully functional server up and running on Digital Ocean in about 15 minutes with a Ghost blog and piwik analytics. More apps to come soon.

    Very cool! I'll add it to tomorrow's issue of Ansible Weekly: http://devopsu.com/newsletters/ansible-weekly-newsletter.html http://devopsu.com/newsletters/ansible-weekly-newsletter.htm...

  congrats on launching this! some thoughts and questions: clickable: http://keybits.net/ http://keybits.net/ * the main keybits-server repo doesn't link to keybits.net * instead of the "first-run.yml" technique, what do you think about a separate repo with build scripts for a common base server with an ssh-able non-root user? * how do you see tools like http://www.packer.io/ http://www.packer.io/ fitting into this type of workflow?

    Thanks for the feedback - much appreciated. - link to main site on Github repo now fixed - I agree the 'firs-run' technique isn't very elegant, I'll look into alternatives - hadn't come across Packer before. It looks excellent (and lovely site design)! From a quick look it seems that it would be great for getting the inital image deployed. After that, Ansible's ability to make the image tailored to the individual is valuable.
