• Python 3.x
• Python 3 Pip (sudo apt install python3-pip)
• Ansible 5.x (sudo pip3 install ansible)
• It's better to have Ubuntu or other Debian-based linux (for other linux distros you will need to modify package installation commands)
• Template works on localhost, but you can do it remotely on a server that is available through SSH by modifying inventory (remote group) and site.yml (host variable)

Doing the lab requires you to know how to use Git :)

Write an Ansible playbook using the template in site.yml.

The playbook itself is an Ansible version of Lab 1 with extra steps :)

1. The playbook should use the packages, aptcachetime, app_dir, app_file variables defined in all vars file.
2. Playbook should use the app.service.j2 that you need to write. Use the app_dir, app_file variables to specify the path to Java app. Use the app_port variable to specifyt the PORT environment variable for Java app.
   • If you have created additional users for Lab1 - add the user creation to site.yml with the help of user module.
3. Playbook should use the nginx.conf.j2 template with a simple Nginx config. There you should write the server block to let Nginx listen on port 80. Nginx should proxy all requests to Java app at localhost:<SOME_PORT>. Target port should be specified dynamically using the app_port variable.

To run the playbook if it's written correctly:

# If you have paswordless SUDO
ansible-playbook site.yml
# or if you have password SUDO
ansible-playbook site.yml -K

The cleanup.yml playbook can be used to remove everything from you server/vm (if you followed the template and did not add additional packages).

# If you have paswordless SUDO
ansible-playbook cleanup.yml
# or if you have password SUDO
ansible-playbook cleanup.yml -K
