+# data.coop infrastructure
+
+This repository contains the code used to deploy data.coop's services
+and websites. We use Ansible to encode our infrastructure setup. Only
+the association's administrators have access to deploy the services.
+
+## Deploying
+
+To deploy the services, the included `deploy.sh` script can be used. The
+Ansible playbook uses two custom-made roles (in the `roles/` directory):
+
+- `ubuntu_base` - used to configure the host itself and install the
+  necessary packages
+- `docker` - used to deploy our services and websites with Docker
+  containers
+
+The script has options to deploy only one of the roles. Select services
+only can also be specified. By default, the script deploys everything.
+
+Here is a summary of the options that can be used with the script:
+
+```sh
+# deploy everything
+./deploy.sh
+
+# deploy the ubuntu_base role only
+./deploy.sh base
+
+# deploy the docker role only
+./deploy.sh services
+
+# deploy SINGLE_SERVICE Docker service only
+./deploy.sh services SINGLE_SERVICE
+```
+
+`SINGLE_SERVICE` should match one of the service names in the `services`
+dictionary in `roles/docker/defaults/main.yml` (e.g. `gitea` or
+`data_coop_website`).
+
+## Testing
+
+In order for us to be able to test our setup locally, we use Vagrant to
+deploy the services in a virtual machine. To do this, Vagrant and
+VirtualBox must both be installed on the development machine. Then, the
+services can be deployed locally by using the `vagrant` command-line
+tool. The working directory needs to be the root of the repository for
+this to work properly.
+
+> Note: As our secrets are contained in an Ansible Vault file, only the
+> administrators have the ability to run the deployment in Vagrant.
+> However, one could replace the vault file for testing purposes.
+
+Here is a summary of the commands that are available with the `vagrant`
+command-line tool:
+
+```sh
+# Create and provision the VM
+vagrant up
+
+# Re-provision the VM
+vagrant provision
+
+# SSH into the VM
+vagrant ssh
+
+# Power down the VM
+vagrant halt
+
+# Power down and delete the VM
+vagrant destroy
+```
+
+The `vagrant` command-line tool does not support supplying extra
+variables to Ansible on runtime, so to be able to deploy only parts of
+the Ansible playbook to Vagrant, the `deploy.sh` script can be used with
+the `--vagrant` flag. Here are some examples:
+
+```sh
+# deploy the ubuntu_base role only in the Vagrant VM
+./deploy.sh --vagrant base
+
+# deploy SINGLE_SERVICE Docker service only in the Vagrant VM
+./deploy.sh --vagrant services SINGLE_SERVICE
+```
+
+Note that the `--vagrant` flag should be the first argument when using
+the script.
+
+## Contributing
+
+If you want to contribute, you can fork the repository and submit a pull
+request. We use a pre-commit hook for linting the YAML files before
+every commit, so please use that. To initialize pre-commit, you need to
+have Python and GNU make installed. Then, just run the following shell
+command:
+
+```sh
+make init
+```
+
