Example scripts showing how to provision of a VM to host Discourse - "a platform for community discussion" (c) Discourse.

• Vagrant (tested with 1.8.1)
• Ansible (tested with 1.9.3)

Add an entry to your hosts file that maps the domain discourse.dev to the IP of the virtual machine:

192.168.11.3    discourse.dev

Create the virtual machine with vagrant:

vagrant up

Install the ansible roles:

[sudo] ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml

IMPORTANT:

Configure Discourse with

cp playbooks/files/discourse/samples/standalone.yml playbooks/files/discourse/containers/app.yml

and edit this file accordingly to your configuration.

Provision with

scripts/provision_vagrant

# or

scripts/provision_aws

scripts/info_vagrant

# or

scripts/info_aws

scripts/logs_vagrant

# or

scripts/logs_aws

scripts/cmd_aws "ls -lh /var/discourse"

Ansible's gather_facts cannot be disabled.
