Lab 11 - Solution¶

Mandatory¶

Create a new host group¶

Create a new host group for flask_app in both inventories test and prod

# file: test and prod
[flask_app:children]
web
db

Change the test and prod host group to use the new hostgroup flask_app

# file: test
[test:children]
flask_app

# file: prod
[prod:children]
flask_app

Create the variable flask_app_source only for the flask_app group with the value https://github.com/pstauffer/flask-mysql-app.git

# file: group_vars/flask_app.yml
---
flask_app_source: https://github.com/pstauffer/flask-mysql-app.git

Extend your flask_app role¶

Use the defined flask_app_source variable in your task file for the git checkout

# file: roles/flask_app/tasks/main.yml
    ---
    - name: checkout flask_app
      git:
        repo: '{{ flask_app_source }}'
        dest: /opt/flask_app
        version: '{{ flask_app_version }}'

Create a dependency on the already created python-pip role

# file: roles/flask_app/meta/main.yml
---
dependencies:
  - python-pip

Run the playbook deploy.yml for both inventories test and prod

ansible-playbook -i test deploy.yml

ansible-playbook -i prod deploy.yml
Verify the checkout of the correct version

ssh web1.<firstname>.lab
cd /opt/flask_app
git describe --tags
v1.0

ssh web2.<firstname>.lab
cd /opt/flask_app
git describe --tags
v1.1
