The aim of this repo is to automate dspace deployment, configuration and cutomization in one go. It is more specific to what we want it to be for R&D institution in Tanzania.

A few assumptions are made:

• You have installed ansible on your local machine
• The target server is running a clean Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
• Your DSpace code is hosted in a public git repository (ie github)
• The target server will use Apache httpd in front of Tomcat (reverse proxy)
• The target server will use Oracle JDK 1.7 instead of OpenJDK

This are pre installation packages.

• thi

This is what is installed.

This is what is going to be configured ..

This is customised based on the university.

Edit the hosts and host_vars appropriately, and then test to see if ansible can reach your host:

ansible -i hosts dspace -m ping

Then try to run the playbook:

ansible-playbook -i hosts dspace.yml -K

There is still some work to do:

• make everything a variable for jinja templating!
• troubleshoot / fix ant step
• add more plays for iptables and other server hardening stuff
