An opinionated BookWyrm setup

Background

I've been running my own BookWyrm instance for some time now, mainly as a means to get operating and admin experience while contributing to the development of the project. BookWyrm is a social reading and reviewing application, a sort of federated GoodReads alternative which is interoperable with other ActivityPub software like Mastodon.

Setup

1. Copy the inventory.example.yaml and set your host and user
2. If your SSH user requires a password to get sudo access, create a .become-password file and paste in the password
3. Copy the secret.example.yaml and fill out all the values
4. Copy the vars.example.yaml and fill out all the values

Highly recommended: Use ansible-vault to encrypt your secret.yaml.

Applying changes

ansible-playbook -i inventory.yaml \
  --become-password-file .become-password \
  --vault-password-file .vault-password \
  playbook.yaml
