Ansible playbook for tomcat installation and configuration

Step 1) I used ansible-galaxy to create a folder structure for tomcat playbook

[osboxes@master ansible-projects]$ ansible-galaxy init tomcat

- Role tomcat was created successfully

 [osboxes@master ansible-projects]$ tree tomcat/

tomcat/

├── defaults

│   └── main.yml

├── files

├── handlers

│   └── main.yml

├── meta

│   └── main.yml

├── README.md

├── tasks

│   └── main.yml

├── templates

├── tests

│   ├── inventory

│   └── test.yml

└── vars

    └── main.yml

8 directories, 8 files

Step 2) I have create playbook for tomcat installation and instance creation. You may download the source code from github repository.

https://github.com/pavanbandaru/ansible-projects.git

[osboxes@master ansible-projects]$ cat install_configure_tomcat.yml

---

- hosts: all

  become: yes

  become_method: sudo

  roles:

    - role: "roles/tomcat90"

[osboxes@master ansible-projects]$ cat inventory.txt

tomcathost01

roles: https://github.com/pavanbandaru/ansible-projects/tree/master/roles/tomcat90

[osboxes@master ansible-projects]$ tree

10 directories, 17 files

Step 3) Run Ansible playbook 

[osboxes@master ansible-projects]$ ansible-playbook install_configure_tomcat.yml -i inventory.txt
