Quality

Lint the project using Ansible lint.

task lint

Configuration

Whenever possible use env variables to configure the container.

Env Config

env:
  POSTGRES_USER: "{{ postgres_user }}"
  POSTGRES_PASSWORD: "{{ postgres_password }}"
  POSTGRES_DB: "{{ postgres_db }}"

Data

To persist data use Docker volumes.

Volume Mount

Mount the folder without subfolder.

volumes:
  - "{{ postgres_volume_name }}:/var/lib/postgresql/data"

For Ansible config files use file mounts.

Bind Mount

volumes:
  - "{{ nginx_data_dir }}/:/etc/nginx/conf.d/:ro"

Guidelines

Every role folder must contain a README.md file.

Mark fix-me-comments with # FIXME: <your text>.

Naming

Template for role vars:

# Basics:
# Url to Docker repsitory
ROLENAME_image: URL
ROLENAME_hostname: SHORTNAME + COUNTER
ROLENAME_port:
ROLENAME_volume_name: SHORTNAME_data + COUNTER
ROLENAME_data_dir: /usr/share/SHORTNAME + COUNTER
# Database connection:
ROLENAME_db_type: mysql
ROLENAME_db_user:

Role and Tags

Roles can have multiple tags.

example one tag

To define a Postgres role, you would:

• Create role postges
• Assign the tag postgres
• Create a task file postgres.yml

example multiple tags

To define a Nginx role with a config tag, you would:

• Create role nginx
• Assign the tags nginx and nginx-config
• Create the task files nginx.yml and nginx-config.yml

In the main.yml you would include the tasks as followed:

- name: "Include {{ role_name }} config tasks"
  include_tasks: "{{ role_name }}-config.yml"
  when: nginx_data_dir is defined
  tags:
    - nginx
    - nginx-config

- name: "Include {{ role_name }} tasks"
  include_tasks: "{{ role_name }}.yml"
  when: nginx_image is defined
  tags:
    - nginx
