Salt's Ansible Repository

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

Initialization

Clone
ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml

For quick bootstrapping of tools and libraries used in this repo, see rehashedsalt/ansible-env. I use that exact image for CI/CD.

I use ara to record Ansible plays. If your environment has it installed, source the script in contrib/ara.sh to configure your environment properly.

Deployment

Linux Machines

Each Linux machine will require the following to be fulfilled for Ansible to access it:

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 running Ubuntu 20.04 or greater

To automate these host-local steps, use the script file contrib/bootstrap.sh.

Windows Machines

lol don't

All Machines

Adding a new server will require these:

The server is accessible from the Ansible host;
The server has been added to NetBox OR in inventory-hard
DNS records for the machine are set; and

From there, running the playbook site.yml should get the machine up to snuff.

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.
