On the VM / Remote (Ubuntu based but could work on other Debian systems)

Ansible script to get a simple instance of DHIS2 configured on a VM with Nginx (with Letsencrypt), Tomcat, and Postgresql.

Install Python

sudo apt-get install python

On the local machine

Install ansible

brew install ansible

or install using pip.

Install anisble galaxies (open source playbooks from other devs)

ansible-galaxy install geerlingguy.postgresql
ansible-galaxy install idealista.tomcat-role

Setup the ansible playbooks

There's a file called all-playbooks.yml which basically runs through all the individual playbooks

---
- import_playbook: server.yml
- import_playbook: database.yml
- import_playbook: tomcat.yml
- import_playbook: nginx-from-source.yml
- import_playbook: nginx-playbook.yml

Add public key

Add your public ssh key to server.yml so that ansible can run commands over ssh without requiring a password.

## Setup your inventory

Define the hostname and user of the server you're deploying to in the your inventory _dhis2-server-credentials.ini

Configure postgresql and tomcat

Review vars/main.yml make sure you define postgresql and tomcat passwords.

Run ansible

You can either run the individual playbooks in the order defined in all-playbooks.yml or you can run them all in one go.

ansible-playbook -i _dhis2-server-credentials.ini all-playbooks.yml
