Automating Ejabberd upgrade procedure with Ansible

Mon, 08 Feb 2016 23:11:28 +0000

CentOS repos (both official and EPEL) does not provide an up to date version of Ejabberd, installing from source is the only way if one want or need a version from this century.
Problem is that doing things manually is a never ever a good idea, luckily Ansible and a bit of Python love come to rescue.
Supposing Ejabberd is already installed and configured (I wrote a post on the subject a couple of years ago: https://nagg.eu/ejabberd-xmpp-server-configuration-guide//) the following Ansible script will take care of all the steps needed to upgrade to a newer version of Ejabberd
