PHP Website
 
-----------
 

	
 
The ``php_website`` role can be used for setting-up a website powered by PHP on
 
destination machine.
 

	
 
This role is normally not supposed to be used directly, but should instead serve
 
as the basis for writing website-specific roles. Therefore the role is written
 
in quite generic way, allowing the integrator to write his/her own logic for
 
deploying the necessary PHP applications, while still reusing a common base and
 
reducing the workload.
 

	
 
The role implements the following:
 

	
 
* Creates a dedicated user/group for running the PHP scripts.
 
* Creates a base directory where the website-specific code and data should be
 
  stored at.
 
* Adds nginx to website's group, so nginx could read the necessary files.
 
* Adds website administrator to website's group, so administrator could manage
 
  the code and data.
 
* Installs additional packages required for running the role (as configured).
 
* Deploys the HTTPS TLS private key and certificate (for website vhost).
 
* Configures PHP FPM and nginx to serve the website.
 

	
 
The role is implemented with the following layout/logic in mind:
 

	
 
* Website users are named after the ``FQDN`` (fully qualified domain name) of
 
  website, in format of ``web-ESCAPEDFQDN``, where ``ESCAPEDFQDN`` is equal to
 
  ``FQDN`` where dots have been replaced by underscores (for example,
 
  ``web-cloud_example_com``).
 
* All websites reside within a dedicated sub-directory in ``/var/www``. The
 
  sub-directory name is equal to the ``FQDN`` used for accessing the
 
  website. Owner of the directory is set to be the application administrator,
 
  while group is set to be the website group. Additionally, ``SGID`` bit is set
 
  on the directory. This allows admin, with correct umask, to create necessary
 
  files and directories that should be readable (and eventually writeable) by
 
  the website user (running the PHP scripts) without having to become root.
 
* All files placed in the website directory should be either created there
 
  directly, or copied to the directory in order to make sure the ``SGID`` gets
 
  honored. **Do not move the files, the permissions will not be set correctly.**
 
* Within the website directory, nginx/php5-fpm will expect to find the relevant
 
  files within the htdocs sub-directory (this can be symlink too).
 
* nginx communicates with PHP FPM over a dedicated Unix socket for each website.
 

	
 

	
 
Parameters
 
@@ -944,48 +945,56 @@ Parameters
 

	
 
**admin** (string, mandatory)
 
  Name of the operating system user in charge of maintaining the website. This
 
  user is capable of making modifications to website configuration anda data
 
  stored within the website directory.
 

	
 
**deny_files_regex** (list, optional)
 
  List of regular expressions for matching files/locations to which the web
 
  server should deny access. This is useful to block access to any sensitive
 
  files that should not be served directly by the web server. The format must be
 
  compatible with regular expressions used by ``nginx`` for ``location ~``
 
  syntax.
 

	
 
**fqdn** (string, mandatory)
 
  Fully-qualified domain name where the website is reachable. This value is used
 
  for calculating the user/group name for dedicated website user, as well as
 
  home directory of the website user (where data/code should be stored at).
 

	
 
**index** (string, optional)
 
  Space-separated list of files which should be treated as index files by the
 
  web server. The web server will attempt opening these index files, in
 
  succession, until the first match, or until it runs out of matches, when a
 
  client requests an URI pointing to directory. Default is ``index.php``.
 

	
 
**https_tls_certificate** (string, mandatory)
 
  Path to file on Ansible host that contains the X.509 certificate used for TLS
 
  for HTTPS service. The file will be copied to directory ``/etc/ssl/certs/``.

  Path to file on Ansible host that contains the private key used for TLS for
 
  HTTPS service. The file will be copied to directory ``/etc/ssl/private/``.
 

	
 
**php_file_regex** (string, optional)
 
  Regular expression used for determining which file should be interepted via
 
  PHP. Default is ``\.php$``.
 

	
 
**php_rewrite_urls** (list, optional)
 
  A list of rewrite rules that are applied to incoming requests. These rewrite
 
  rules are specifically targetted at prettying-up the URLs used by the PHP
 
  scripts. Each element of the list should be a string value compatible with the
 
  format of ``nginx`` option ``rewrite``. The keyword ``rewrite`` itself should
 
  be omitted, as well as trailing semi-colon (``;``).
 

	
 
**rewrites** (list, optional)
 
  A list of rewrite rules that are applied to incoming requests. Each element of
 
  the list should be a string value compatible with the format of ``nginx``
 
  option ``rewrite``. The keyword ``rewrite`` itself should be omitted, as well
 
  as trailing semi-colon (``;``).
 

	
 
**packages** (list, optional)
 
  A list of additional packages to install for this particular PHP
 
  appliction. This is usually going to be different PHP extensions.
 

	
 
**uid** (integer, mandatory)
 
  UID/GID (they are set-up to be the same) of the dedicated website
 
  user/group.

WSGI Website
 
------------
 

	
 
The ``wsgi_website`` role can be used for setting-up a website powered by Python
 
on destination machine. The website needs to use the WSGI specification for
 
making the Python web application(s) available.
 

	
 
This role is normally not supposed to be used directly, but should instead serve
 
as the basis for writing website-specific roles. Therefore the role is written
 
in quite generic way, allowing the integrator to write his/her own logic for
 
deploying the necessary Python applications/packages, while still reusing a
 
common base and reducing the workload.
 

	
 
The role implements the following:
 

	
 
* Creates a dedicated user/group for running the WSGI application.
 
* Creates a base directory where the website-specific code and data should be
 
  stored at.
 
* Adds nginx to website's group, so nginx could read the necessary files.
 
* Adds website administrator to website's group, so administrator could manage
 
  the code and data.
 
* Installs additional packages required for running the role (as configured).
 
* Sets-up a dedicated Python virtual environment for website.
 
* Install Gunicorn in Python virtual environment.
 
* Installs additional packages required for running the role in Python virtual
 
  environment (as configured).
 
* Configures systemd to run the website code (using Gunicorn)
 
* Deploys the HTTPS TLS private key and certificate (for website vhost).
 
* Configures nginx to serve the website (static files served directly, requests
 
  passed on to Gunicorn).
 

	
 
The role is implemented with the following layout/logic in mind:
 

	
 
* Website users are named after the ``FQDN`` (fully qualified domain name) of
 
  website, in format of ``web-ESCAPEDFQDN``, where ``ESCAPEDFQDN`` is equal to
 
  ``FQDN`` where dots have been replaced by underscores (for example,
 
  ``web-wiki_example_com``).
 
* All websites reside within a dedicated sub-directory in ``/var/www``. The
 
  sub-directory name is equal to the ``FQDN`` used for accessing the
 
  website. Owner of the directory is set to be the application administrator,
 
  while group is set to be the website group. Additionally, ``SGID`` bit is set
 
  on the directory. This allows admin, with correct umask, to create necessary
 
  files and directories that should be readable (and eventually writeable) by
 
  the website user (running the WSGI application) without having to become root.
 
* All files placed in the website directory should be either created there
 
  directly, or copied to the directory in order to make sure the ``SGID`` gets
 
  honored. **Do not move the files, the permissions will not be set correctly.**
 
* Within the website directory, Python virtual environment can be found within
 
  the ``virtualenv`` sub-directory. The virtual environment is also symlinked to
 
  website admin's ``~/.virtualenvs/`` directory for easier access (and
 
  auto-completion with virtualenvwrapper).
 
* Within the website directory, nginx will expect to find the static files
 
  within the ``htdocs`` sub-directory (this can be symlink too). Locations/aliases
 
  can be configured for static file serving.
 
* Within the website directory, systemd service will expect to find the website
 
  code within the ``code`` sub-directory (this can be symlink too).
 
* nginx communicates with WSGI server over a dedicated Unix socket for each
 
  website.
 

	
 

	
 
Parameters
 
~~~~~~~~~~
 

	
 
**admin** (string, mandatory)
 
  Name of the operating system user in charge of maintaining the website. This
 
  user is capable of making modifications to website configuration anda data
 
  stored within the website directory.
 

	
 
**fqdn** (string, mandatory)
 
  Fully-qualified domain name where the website is reachable. This value is used
 
  for calculating the user/group name for dedicated website user, as well as
 
  home directory of the website user (where data/code should be stored at).
 

	
 
**https_tls_certificate** (string, mandatory)
 
  Path to file on Ansible host that contains the X.509 certificate used for TLS
 
  for HTTPS service. The file will be copied to directory ``/etc/ssl/certs/``.
 

	
 
**https_tls_key** (string, mandatory)
 
  Path to file on Ansible host that contains the private key used for TLS for
 
  HTTPS service. The file will be copied to directory ``/etc/ssl/private/``.
 

	
 
**packages** (list, optional)
 
  A list of additional packages to install for this particular WSGI
 
  website. This is usually going to be development libraries for building Python
 
  packages.
 

	
 
**rewrites** (list, optional)
 
  A list of rewrite rules that are applied to incoming requests. Each element of
 
  the list should be a string value compatible with the format of ``nginx``
 
  option ``rewrite``. The keyword ``rewrite`` itself should be omitted, as well
 
  as trailing semi-colon (``;``).
 

	
 
**static_locations** (list, optional)
 
  List of locations that should be treated as static-only, and not processed by
 
  the WSGI application at all. This is normally used for designating serving of
 
  static/media files by Nginx (for example, in case of Django projects for
 
  ``/static/`` and ``/media/``).
 

	
 
**uid** (integer, mandatory)
 
  UID/GID (they are set-up to be the same) of the dedicated website
 
  user/group.
 

	
 
**use_paste** (boolean, optional)
 
  Tell Gunicorn to assume that the passed-in ``wsgi_application`` value is a
 
  filename of a Python Paste ``ini`` file instead of WSGI application.
 

	
 
**virtuaelnv_packages** (list, optional)
 
  A list of additional packages to install for this particular PHP
 
  appliction. This is usually going to be different PHP extensions.
 

	
 
**wsgi_application** (string, mandatory)
 
  WSGI application that should be started by Gunicorn. The format should be
 
  conformant to what the ``gunicorn`` command-line tool accepts. If the
 
  ``use_paste`` option is enabled, the value should be equal to filename of the
 
  Python Paste ini file, located in the ``code`` sub-directory.
