Salt's Ansible Repository

Useful for management across all of 9iron, thefuck, and desu.

TODO

This branch is kinda-sorta a port of master, so it still needs to reach some form of feature parity with it. Namely:

• Pleroma(? How about we move to outer heaven?)

• Matrix(? Do I still want to keep this around?)

• Basic git cloning for websites

• My inane desktop setups

  • Which are part of the way there, mostly just need some off-the-wall stuff

• Backups

  • Duplicity?

  • Just Linode backups? Would also have to do nightly DB dumps

  • More homebrew bullshit?

• Monitoring (Doesn't necessarily have to be grafana)

• Forge server deployment? Terraria? What do I do about all these gameservers?

Initialization

• Clone the repo, cd in

• ansible-galaxy install -r roles/requirements.yml

Deployment

Adding a new server will require the following be fulfilled:

• The server is accessible from the Ansible host;

• The server has a user named ansible which:

  • Accepts the public key located in contrib/desu.pub; and

  • Has passwordless sudo capabilities as root

• The server is added to inventory/hosts.yml in an appropriate place;

• DNS records for the machine are set; and

• The server is running Ubuntu 18.04 or greater (20.04 recommended)

From there, running the playbook site.yml should get the machine up to snuff. To automate the host-local steps, use the script file contrib/bootstrap.sh.
