This repository contains a playbook for provisioning modern hosting environments geared towards WordPress. It's based on How to Install WordPress on Ubuntu 20.04. The following is handled out of the box:

• User setup
• SSH hardening
• Firewall setup

It will also install the following software:

• Nginx with HTTP/2
• PHP 8.1
• MySQL
• Redis
• WP-CLI
• Fail2Ban
• Git

Configure your hosts file.

[production]
192.168.1.1 #sampledomain.com

Edit provision.yml to configure your default user, hashed sudo password and local public key path. This will create a new user on the provisioned servers that you can use to gain SSH access.

Run:

ansible-playbook provision.yml
