🚀📝 Ansible Playbook: Automating Docker & Web Server Deployment! 🐳🌐

Hello there, I’m Vinay Gupta! Welcome to another exciting adventure in the realm of Ansible! Today, we will create an Ansible Playbook that automates the setup of Docker and a web server on managed nodes.

Let’s dive in!

What You’ll Need: Before we begin, make sure you have the following tools at your disposal:

1. Ansible tool installed on your control node.
2. Managed nodes with SSH access and Python installed.

Before start:

• Write IP address of your managed node in “inventory” file

• Run below ad-hoc command to verify connection between hosts

Let’s get started with our magical Ansible Playbook!

Step 1: 📝 Create new playbook

Step 2: 🐳 Configuring Docker & Services

Step 3: 🌐 Pulling & Running the Docker Container

Step 4: 📂 Copying HTML Code & Moving inside container

Step 5: 🌟 Time to Cast the Spell!

It’s time to unleash the magic of Ansible and deploy our web server. Run the following command:

ansible-playbook deploy_webserver.yml

Output:

Test:

You’ve done it! 🎉 With just a few lines of code in your Ansible Playbook, you’ve configured Docker, pulled the httpd image, deployed a web server, and made it accessible to the public! 🐳🌐
