Ansible role for GRAV

stacksofplates

I made a simple role to set up GRAV. Sadly, they hard code the version in the URL download so if it changes, it will have to change in the role as well. I could parse the page and look for the current version text, but they have the same text for the beta also. Oh well.

Here's your requirements.yml:

- src: https://gitlab.com/hooksie1/ansible-firewalld.git
  name: firewalld
  scm: git
  version: master
- src: https://gitlab.com/hooksie1/ansible-httpd.git
  name: httpd
  scm: git
  version: master
- src: https://gitlab.com/hooksie1/ansible-grav.git
  name: grav
  scm: git
  version: master

And here's a sample playbook:

---
- name: Set up GRAV
  hosts: grav
  user: vagrant
  become: true

  roles:
    - { role: firewalld, firewall_services: "http" }
    - { role: httpd, www_html_override: "All" }
    - { role: grav }

Just grab the roles with:

ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml -p <your role path>

Then run your playbook:

ansible-playbook grav.yml

Go to your URL and you'll have the create user page:

Here's a sample Vagrantfile for anyone who wants it (it's using the libvirt provider):

# -*- mode: ruby -*-
# vi: set ft=ruby :

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  config.vm.define :httpd do |httpd|
    httpd.vm.box = "fedora/27-cloud-base"
    httpd.vm.hostname = "httpd.example.com"
    httpd.vm.provider :libvirt do |domain|
      domain.memory =  512
    end
  end

  config.vm.provision "shell",
    inline: "sudo dnf install -y python"

  config.vm.provision "ansible" do |ansible|
    ansible.playbook = "grav.yml"
    ansible.groups = {
      "grav_servers" => ["grav"]
    }
  end

end

It's only been tested on Fedora 27. I used the cloud image, and if you want to use that you can also leave out the firewall role. I stuck it in because I figured most people would be using regular Fedora 27 server.

Oh it all depends on the theme you want. Some functions are dependent on the theme, others on plugins. It’s a flat file CMS with no database. Everything is defined in markdown or YAML.

This is the best place to see what it can look like:

From this link, it looks like a full CMS? I thought it was a wiki.

I think the coolest thing about it is being a flat file setup, you can check the whole CMS into Git and do all of your edits and updates through configuration management.

Right. It’s a full CMS. However you can do just Wiki functions using some themes.

So I would just have create a new repo from within the root directory?

Well I was thinking more update the site, make page changes, etc on my local repo. Push changes up to my repo in Gitlab/Github whatever and then have a post-receive hook that pushes changes to the web server.
