Ansible role used by RDO to deploy the RDO dasboard
Code of the dashboard is on https://github.com/rdo-infra/rdo-dashboards
The role can be used like this:
$ cat deploy_dashboards.yml
- hosts: web
roles:
- role: rdo_dasboards
website_domain: dashboard.example.org
Since the role use the role httpd from http://github.com/OSAS/ansible-role-httpd,
several options can be used to enable https with letsencrypt and others. See the
documentation of the httpd role for more information
This role also expects to work hand-in hand with the OSAS httpd role
(ansible-role-ah-httpd). You may call this role with the httpd role
variables for the vhost.
See the provided requirements.yml file to install role dependencies using
Ansible galaxy.
The data is updated every 15 minutes, using a cron job running as a non privileged user. The code itself is updated every 20 minutes using a cron job, and the whole application run under a user that has no specific privilege.
To ensure that no one can push bogus information, a variable token_auth must be declared.
However, this is not critical to protect, and a random variable could simply be used
for every deployment and things would be fine.
