Its default location is /etc/ansible/hosts. If you want to have your Ansible hosts file in another location, then you can set this environment variable.

Save by Ansible

Install

Ansible is an IT Automation tool by Redhat which lets you automate IT tasks with ease. And did I mention, its free

While you can do a load of things using Ansible, we will only focus on upgrading PHP on our servers. Be sure to check out what you can do with ansible afterward.

Installation

First, you gotta install Ansible control node. On a bigger scale, this would be on a server who manages other ansible nodes (other servers) through SSH. However, for our case; we will use our own computer as a control node.

Ansible works on any machine that can run Python 2 or 3, except for Windows. Use the Linux subsystem or something else if you are running Windows.

For Mac users, the preferred way is to install ansible using pip

If you are using Ubuntu 16.04 or 18.04 run the command below

For other distros or OS, check out the official installation tutorial

Ansible Check Os

Setup your inventory

In Ansible, you identify the location of your servers in the inventory file located at /etc/ansible/hosts

Create your inventory file

Above, you created a hosts group called wordpress which contains website-a and website-b

You can also set ansible_password= but I recommended you to set up the public key

Create your playbook

Next up we'll create an orchestration file to tell ansible what to do. Create a file name upgrade-php.yml

What happening here is we're telling ansible to run set of tasks (roles) geerlingguy.php-versions, and geerlingguy.php.

Just like NPM or pip, you need to download the package from an online repo in order to use it. Run these commands

This awesome role by geerlingguy purge old PHP versions, add the appropriate repository, install your PHP and install all the recommendations modules. You can review what the role does here

Upgrade the server PHP

Mac Install Ansible

Finally, we are ready to upgrade PHP on our servers. Run this command:

Ansible Install Package

Wait for the playbook to finish and your PHP version should be upgraded to 7.3 🎉🎉🎉

Ansible has a lot more awesome features that make your sysadmin mundane tasks go away in one command. I'm new to ansible and wish to have known about it sooner. If you have any cool ansible project, then please tell me about it in the comment.
