Hello World!

My name is Mickaël alias sodbaveka. I created this repository as a lab to discover git, gitHub, Bash, Python and Ansible.

My project as a learner is to create an Ansible playbook to automate the installation of a wordpress website.

Running this playbook will perform the following actions on your Ansible hosts :

• Install aptitude, which is preferred by Ansible as an alternative to the apt package manager.
• Installation of the required LAMP packages and PHP extensions.
• Creation and validation of a new VirtualHost Apache for the WordPress site.
• Activation of the Apache rewrite module (mod_rewrite).
• Disable the default Apache website.
• Sets the password for the MySQL root user.
• Removal of anonymous MySQL accounts and the test database.
• Creation of a new MySQL database and a user for the WordPress site.
• Configure the UFW parameter to allow HTTP traffic on the configured port (80 by default).
• Download and unpack WordPress.
• Set the correct directory ownership and permissions.
• Define the wp-config.php file using the template provided.

Please feel free to message me if you have any questions.

Bye ;-)
