Infrastructure and Automation tooling for deploying ckan.
To run this playbook
ansible-playbook -K -i inventory.yml ckan.ymlThis role can be used to deploy a single node instance of ckan. It is recommended to configure a reverse proxy for ssl termination. If a remote database is being used replace postgres_host with the remote hosts address in inventory.yml.
This project is not intended to only be a ckan role. In the future AWS EC2 support, remote postgres (RDS), Ceph, and other high availability features are planned to be added.
