A Module to help manage a Kong API Gateway

For a full write-up, please see the blog series: Kong Up and Running

Requirements

• Ansible
• python requests library
• Docker and Docker Compose

Quickstart

From a Docker-enabled terminal run:

git clone [email protected]:toast38coza/ansible-kong-module.git && cd ansible-kong-module
docker-compose up

This might take a while to run ... after it is finished you can find the IP of your docker machine with:

$ docker-machine ip default
> 1.2.3.4

(assuming your docker-machine is called default).

You can then access your Kong API at:

• Admin interface: 1.2.3.4:8001
• REST Interface: 1.2.3.4:8000

Configure your Kong instance with:

ansible-playbook playbook.yml -i inventory --extra-vars "kong_admin_base_url=1.2.3.4:8001 kong_base_url=1.2.3.4:8000"

• set kong_admin_base_url and kong_base_url to your Kong instance's urls
