Commonground collection for Ansible

Tools to deploy Django apps & related Common Ground components with Ansible.

Docker-on-a-VM approach

Some of the roles in this collection contribute to installing a Django app with Docker on a VM and exposing it to the outside world.

The relevant roles for this are:

• django_app_docker: run the backend container(s), including Redis cache, Celery workers, Celery beat...

  This will bind the container ports to the host system, ready for a reverse proxy.

• django_app_nginx: provides the template for the NGINX reverse proxy. The template is inspired on maykin-deployment, and variables from django_app_docker are re-used where possible. Note that this role does NOT install or configure nginx, look into nginxinc.nginx role for that.

The architecture is so that:

1. Given a VM with Docker provisioned (OS flavour doesn't matter)
2. An isolated network is provisioned for your app
3. Which is then exposed via NGINX
4. Where SSL can be disabled.

Kubernetes

Work in progress.
