Deploy Laravel 5 using Ansible in Capistrano way

Prepare

Create hosts file for all your environments from example:

cp hosts.example production

Create group_vars/laravel.yml from example:

cp group_vars/laravel.example.yml group_vars/laravel.yml

Edit it to match your environment.

Note! Playbook uses Ansistrano, so you are free to update default group_vars and use Ansistrano’s.
