Majic Ansible Roles documentation
=================================

Majic Ansible Roles is a collection of Ansible roles that are used on regular
basis for deployment and maintenance of Majic infrastructure.

The roles are kept as a separate project in hope of making them potentially
useful to wider audience, and for reference purposes.

Roles cover different aspects of infrastructure, such as mail servers, web
servers, web applications etc. The roles are mainly well-suited for smaller
installations.

Roles are mainly written for use with *Debian 8 Jessie*, although some support
*Debian 9 Stretch* as well. You can find out more about distribution
compatibility in :ref:`rolereference`.

At the moment, the roles have been written for and tested against **Ansible
1.9.x**.

Roles should work for the most part with **Ansible 2.0.x** and **Ansible
2.1.x**, but due to bugs in those releases they should not be used for
production purposes. Roles are kept forward-compatible as much as possible until
a couple of breaking bugs get fixed in **Ansible 2.x** series. The main blockers
are:

* Inability to use dynamic name handlers (handlers that include variables in
  their name).
* Referencing non-existing handlers does not produce error.
* Referencing non-existing tags does not produce error.

The role also utilises the ``dig`` lookup plugin which requires ``dnspython``
package to be installed. Make sure you have the package available on controller
machine.
