An example playbook to deploy WordPress, NGINX and a MySQL DB in containers, utilising Podman.

Project requirements:

• Install Podman
• Create a podman user
• Deploy WordPress and NGINX in front
• Data must persist

Notes:

• Persistent data resides in /opt/wordpress
• The three containers run within a pod
• For simplicity sensitive variables have been included in plain text
• Default variables can be found in the relevant defaults/main.yml file. Override them in group_vars/webserver/main.yml
• For simplicity I opted for a firewall redirect from 80 -> 8080 instead of lowering the net.ipv4.ip_unprivileged_port_start

Tested on Rocky Linux 8.5.

Install requirements with:

ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml

Then run with:

ansible-playbook deploy.yml

Once completed, visit http://hostname_or_IP_address/wp-admin to continue setup.
