lttle-ansible-bootstrap

I don't really intend for this repo to be consumed as a generic, re-usable configuration. It's strictly intended to meet my personal needs.

Installs and configures various things with:

• Apache
• PHP
• ownCloud
• OpenVPN
• Dovecot/Postfix/procmail
• ntpd

If I'm really in an Ansible mood, I could generate a temporary Linode API key and use Ansible to create my Atlanta-based Linode using the standalone playbook in the directory root.

To keep the playbook idempotent and secure, the first time it runs, it will create random passwords for the MariaDB root user, NextCloud, and mail user. The passwords to those accounts will be saved on the remote server in appropriate configuration files instead of in the global_vars of this Ansible playbook like most other templates you'll find on Github. Though these files are uploaded in-whole on the first run as templates, they won't upload again after that because the remote server is treated as the master copy of the passwords on these files:

• /root/.my.cnf
• /var/www/nextcloud/config/config.php
• /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext
• /etc/postfix/mysql-virtual-alias-maps.cf
• /etc/postfix/mysql-virtual-mailbox-domains.cf
• /etc/postfix/mysql-virtual-mailbox-maps.cf

This is setup for a 2G shared linode.

Bootstrapping from scratch

• Install everything for OS, minus games, xserv, and xshare. xbase and xfont are needed for gd and imagemagik.
• Add authorized_keys to ~/.ssh/
• Install python3 so Ansible has an interpreter
  • pkg_add python3
  • pkg_add py3-pip
• Create a cert

  • pkg_add certbot

  • certbot certonly
