Salt's Ansible Repository

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

Initialization

• Clone
• ansible-galaxy install -r 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 has been added to NetBox OR in inventory-hard

• DNS records for the machine are set; and

• The server is running Ubuntu 20.04 or greater

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.

Zerotier

A lot of my home-network side of things is connected together via ZeroTier; initial deployment/repairs may require specifying an ansible_host for the inventory item in question to connect to it locally. Subsequent plays will require connectivity to my home ZeroTier network.

Cloud-managed devices require no such workarounds.
