DEPRECATED: The settings that this role manages are now available through environment variables in GPII/universal.

Installs and configures a GPII Flow Manager instance in cloud-based mode, using the nodejs role.

Most of the work to install the Flow Manager itself is done through passing appropriate defaults to the ansible-nodejs role; this role really only does Flow Manager-specific things, as opposed to general "install and configure a nodejs application" tasks that the other role can handle. Specifically:

• the universal cloudBased.production config is updated appropriately to the relevant Preferences Server host

• the Flow Manager cloudBased.development.all.local.json config is updated appropriately to the relevant Preferences Server host

At time of writing, the production configuration of cloud-based Flow Manager does not require URLs for the matchmakers, and they are thus not part of the role.

A running preferences server is expected and must be configured in the role variables (see below)

flow_manager_preferences_server_host_address: preferences server host address (default: "preferences.gpii.net") flow_manager_environment: GPII environment; this shouldn't be changed under normal circumstances for this role (Default: "cloudBased.production")

Including an example of how to use your role (for instance, with variables passed in as parameters) is always nice for users too:

- hosts: flowmanager
  roles:
     - { role: ansible-flow-manager, preferences_server_couchdb_host_address: preferences.gpii.net }
