This is a crude set of ansible roles that will take a clean Ubuntu (16.04 LTS was used for testing) server and install Invoice Ninja and all of its dependencies.
First you need to ensure python and ssh are installed on the target Ubuntu machine.
sudo apt-get install python ssh
Copy your public SSH key onto the target server - on Mac this can be found here:
~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
The target location will be
~/.ssh/authorized_keys
**Note this must be for a non-root user, use
adduseron the target machine to create a user
**You will also need to ensure this user is part of the sudo group
usermod -aG sudo username
On your local machine install ansible (This script was tested with ansible 2.5)
brew install ansible
Create a host file for ansible on your local machine
sudo vim /etc/ansible/hosts
Host file should look like this
[ninja]
ip_address_or_host_name_hereInstall the required roles
ansible-galaxy install jdauphant.nginx
ansible-galaxy install stackbuilders.certbot
Configure variables in vars/vars.yml
# sudo user on target machine
user: david
# target machine DB credentials
db_user: invoiceninja
db_password: adminpwd
db_name: invoiceninja
# lets encrypt email address
letsencrypt_email: ''
# web address ie: example.com
server_name: ''
# you can also change the repo branch, default is set to master
git_branch: 'master'
Run the playbook and wait for it to complete
ansible-playbook localvm.yml --ask-become
