Custom tasks.

Custom tasks are an easy way to extend beetbox by adding your own ansible tasks - http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/playbooks_intro.html#tasks-list

Tasks are automatically included in the beetbox play before (pre) and after (post) the main provisioning tasks.

pre tasks

/.beetbox/tasks/pre/...

Include task files in this directory to run before provisioning, for example if you want to install all project composer dependencies you could add the following

---
- name: Install project dependencies with composer.
  composer:
    command: install
    working_dir: "{{ beet_base }}"
  become: no

to a file /.beetbox/tasks/pre/composer.yml.

Tasks are run in alphabetical order if you have tasks dependencies and have access to all ansible variables within the scope of the project.

post tasks

/.beetbox/tasks/post/...

Similar to pre tasks however these are run after the main playbook tasks.

Notes

Please try to make these tasks idempotent so it doesn't delay provisioning when rerun.
