Bedrock+Ansible Installation - Folder structure

trellis
1

Noob question:

I have followed the instructions to install Ansible + Bedrock onto my local machine (from https://github.com/roots/bedrock-ansible):

**Installation**

Download/fork/clone this repo to your local machine.
Run ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml to install external Ansible roles/packages.
Download/fork/clone Bedrock or have an existing Bedrock-based site ready.

You should now have the following directories at the same level somewhere:

example.com/    - Primary folder for the project
├── ansible/    - Your version of this repo (renamed to just `ansible`)
└── site/       - A Bedrock-based site (suggested to name this the generic `site` since your project name is already at the top level)

On my local machine (Ubuntu 14.04), in my root I have two newly created directories:

  1. ansible
  2. bedrock-ansible

How does this fit in with the suggested folder structure shown in the above code block? Where should example.com folder be? The instructions are not very clear.

Should I have created ‘example.com’ in my root, then installed 1) ansible inside the folder, then installed 2) bedrock-ansible inside the same folder?

thanks for the help

Have you seen this?

Hi, yes I have.

As a first time user of all of these tools, the only way for me to move forward is to follow instructions word for word.

So when I follow the install instructions and the end result is different from what it should be, things become very confusing.

Please look at the newly updated README on https://github.com/roots/roots-example-project.com. It should cover everything.

OK thanks Ben, will do.

BTW this is one of the nicest forums I’ve used, where can I get a copy/similar app? :wink:
