ansiblecfgs (v3)

Automate everything.

The main principle in v3: basic system setup, and everything else in Docker containers.

Main variable where data places: caddy_dir.

Requirements: Linux or WSL host, full version of ansible (not just ansible-core).

Usage

• Fill inventories/prod directory with your hosts, and group_vars.

• Select playbook you needed. If your VPS is clean, you usually needed system playbook first.

• Fill variables required by playbook.

• Run playbook. Example: ansible-playbook -i inventories/prod playbooks/system/setup.yml --limit myhost

Documentation

See playbooks directory, and each playbook README.md.

Example Ansible installation

See more in Ansible docs.

Ubuntu, WSL (Ubuntu)

cd ~
sudo apt install -y python3 python3-pip python3-venv sshpass # sshpass for password login to the server
mkdir ansible && cd ansible
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate # use venv to interact with Ansible
pip install ansible passlib # passlib for creating a user with a password on the server

If you haven't logged into the server yet, do so because otherwise it will complain about known_hosts. Run: ssh root@SERVER_IP

Issues

Due to sudo changes in Ubuntu 26.04, you may need to set

ansible_become_exe: "sudo.ws" in your variables.
