Magento+Nginx+PHP-FPM Deployment

• Requires Ansible 1.2 or newer
• Expects CentOS/RHEL 6.x hosts

These playbooks deploy a simple all-in-one configuration of the popular Magento eCommerce platform, frontend by the Nginx web server and the PHP-FPM process manager. To use, copy the hosts.example file to hosts and edit the hosts inventory file to include the names or URLs of the servers you want to deploy.

Then run the playbook, like this:

ansible-playbook -i hosts site.yml

The playbooks will configure MySQL, Magento, Nginx, and PHP-FPM. When the run is complete, you can access the server to begin the Magento configuration.

Next Steps / TODO

Ideas for improvement:

• Parameterize the Magento deployment to handle multi-site configurations.
• Separate the components (PHP-FPM, MySQL, Nginx) onto separate hosts and hande the configuration appropriately.
• Add support for automatic local / development Vagrant deployment
• Add support for automatic configuration / population of sample / demo products
