Role Name

This roles provisions a Spring Boot application.

Requirements

The Spring Boot application must be built using the Spring Boot Gradle plugin with the executable option set to true so that the build produces an executable JAR that can be used as a service.

example build.gradle

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:1.3.5.RELEASE")
    }
}

apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'spring-boot'

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web")
    compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-actuator")
    testCompile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test")
}

springBoot {
    executable = true
}

Role Variables

The variables that can be used to parametrize this role and a brief description about them are as follows. (For all variables, take a look at defaults/main.yml)

# the application id which is used thorugh the role to derive usernames, folders where the application will be installed, and so on
spring_boot_application_id: "springbootapplication"

# the HTTP port the Spring Boot application should listen to
spring_boot_http_port: 8080

Dependencies

No dependencies.

Example Playbook

Including an example of how to use your role (for instance, with variables passed in as parameters) is always nice for users too:

hosts: localhost
roles:
- { role: ansible-springboot-role, 
    spring_boot_file_source_local: 'example-application.jar' 
  }
