Description

ansible-piwik is an Ansible role. The playbook contains tasks to provide a Piwik installation (with MySQL backend) running on Apache.

Provides

1. MySQL
2. Apache
3. PHP
4. Latest Piwik codebase
5. GeoIP database

Requires

1. Ansible 1.4 or higher
2. Debian 7.3 (other deb-based distros should work too)
3. Vagrant (optional)

Note: Tested on Fedora 20 but requires some custom host_vars see below:

---
piwik:
  mysql:
    service: 'mysqld'
  apache:
    user: 'apache'
    group: 'apache'
    service: 'httpd'

(If necessary adjust firewall rules to allow http...)

Usage

Get the code

$ git clone [email protected]:ICTO/ansible-piwik.git

Custom settings

Create an Ansible inventory file

Following example makes Ansible aware of a box reachable through SSH on 127.0.0.1, port 2222.

$ vi ansible.host

with

[piwik]
127.0.0.1 ansible_ssh_port=2222

Create the playbook file

---
- name: Piwik
  hosts: piwik
  roles:
    - ansible-piwik

Create host or group specific variables

Create a host_vars or group_vars directory where the ansible.host file is located.

$ mkdir group_vars

Create the file piwik in the newly created directory.

$ cd group_vars
$ vi piwik

with

---
piwik:
  mysql:
    host: 127.0.0.1
    admin_user: root
    admin_pass: NEW
    piwik_user: piwik
    piwik_pass: piwik
    piwik_db: piwik

  settings:
    ip_range: '192.168.33.1'

If empty the role will load default variables from defaults/main.yml

Make sure to use the Ansible setting hash_behaviour=merge in ansible.cfg, i.e.:

[defaults]
hash_behaviour=merge

Run the playbook

Use ansible.host as inventory. Run the playbook only for the remote host piwik. Use vagrant as the SSH user to connect to the remote host. -k enables the SSH password prompt.

$ ansible-playbook -k -i ansible.host piwik.yml -u vagrant

Example output
