Updating

Feel free to update index.html but don't forget to run the bellow command after changes:

ansible-playbook provision.yml --ask-pass --tags update

Obs

• raw module is useful and should only be done in a few cases. A common case is installing python on a system without python installed by default. From ansible docs

• In this case facts are not used, so gather_facts: no

• Running with --tags docker executes only Create container play

• Running with --tags provision executes only Provision HTTP server play
