Rabbitmq Playbook

Playbook to install and configure rabbitmq. Will come with various configuration tweaking later on.

If you wish to discuss modifications, or help to support more platforms, open an issue.

Installation

Use Ansible galaxy to install this playbook:

$ ansible-galaxy install Mayeu.rabbitmq,1.1.0

The master branch should currently be considered instable. Please avoid using it for something else than test purpose :)

Supported system

Currently only Debian Jessie and Wheezy on amd64 are supported. Patch welcome to support other distribution or OS.

Semantic versioning 2.0.0

Starting with the commit 67c608826a140868a71854ce3129b5f3d67ddcce, this playbook use semantic versioning. Following the specification, and since the playbook is used in production and I want to avoid breaking the compatibility, the first version number is 1.0.0

The public API defined in the semantic versioning correspond to the settings available to the user. Breaking the API (incrementing from X.Y.Z to (X+1).Y.Z) in this context mean that the user need to change variable name for its playbook to run.

Any new feature added (from X.Y.Z to X.(Y+1).Z) should have a working default value that need no user interaction by default. If a feature addition require user interaction, then it is not a minor upgrade, but a major one.
