Rough ansible playbook for deploying DSpace 3.1 from git on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. Run with: ansible-playbook dspace.yml -K Make sure your `$ANSIBLE_HOSTS` points to a hosts file with a `dspace` hosts group. Also, there are quite a number of templated variables in the playbook, so either add them to your host_vars or edit them out of the playbook.
