This project hasn’t been touched in a few months so last night I embarked to give it a spin. It failed. Miserably. So I went bug-hunting and got it working again.

Resolved Issues

• centos-base
  • Removed packages no longer available that were causing role to fail.
  • Added package Glances to replace htop.
  • Fixed an issue with fail2ban configuration tasks.
  • Enhanced fail2ban configuration.
• create-swap
  • Resolved a typo in a task that prevented swap file from being created.
• install-apache
  • Enabled gzip compression to reduce page load times.
  • Enabled caching to reduce page load times.
  • Removed hardcoded values in vhost.conf.j2 that would have resulted in a misconfigured HTTP to HTTPS redirect.
• install-certbot
  • Fixed issues that would have prevented automatic renewal cron job from being created.
• create-droplet
  • Changed default droplet size from 1gb to 2gb.
• destroy-droplet
  • removed hardcoded region that would have prevented deleting droplets not deployed in region NYC1.
• install-wordpress
  • Fixed an issue where MySQL port was not being added to wp-config.php, preventing WordPress from starting.
  • Fixed an issue where Apache could not access document root.
  • Fixed an issue where wp-config.php was getting incorrect database connection details.
• database-server
  • Simplified data returned from script used to create database servers to resolve an issue in install-wordpress.

Next steps will be focusing on adding an automatic build job to help ensure that this code is always in good, working order.

Have a good weekend and take care of yourselves.
