fflux Ansible Configuration

This repo contains Ansible configs for the Freifunk Lëtzebuerg infra.

Files

  • hosts: contains all of the machines.
  • Careful: a wrongly defined machine can lead to major problems.
  • authorized_keys: fflux user pubkey

Directories

  • files: templates for various playbooks
  • initial_server_setup: initial server setup
  • gateway: Set up a fflux gateway
  • api: api.freifunk.lu
  • firmware: firmware.freifunk.lu

Guide

Initial Server Setup

First, add the machine to hosts at the top of the file:

machine-name-here ansible_host=10.20.30.40

Note that machine-name-here will be the machine's hostname.

Then, put the machine under the [initial] group:

[initial]
machine-name-here ansible_user=root

Finally, change the default private SSH key under [all:vars] if necessary:

ansible_ssh_private_key_file=/home/myuser/.ssh/id_ed25519

You can now run the playbook:

fflux@fflux:~/repos/Ansible-Configuration$ ansible-playbook -i hosts initial_server_setup/initial_setup.yml

Note that the placement of the repositories might impact the playbook's behaviour, particularly for more advanced setups, incl. web server.

Install Website (freifunk, www, api)

First, make sure the machine is still configured properly at the top of the hosts file. (see initial server setup)

Then, put the machine under the [website-web] group:

perso-test

Note that if you are not running this on the fflux management server as the fflux user, you might want to check the remote authorized_keys (that one of your keys is allowed) and append ansible_user=fflux to that line, similarly to the initial server setup.

Do not forget to set the DNS records properly, so that the machine is reachable via the domain names. (at the time of writing freifunk.lu, www.freifunk.lu and api.freifunk.lu, but you can simply check the playblook)

On top of that, make sure that the fflux user has a ssh keypair (for git) which is configured properly on projects.c3l.lu. That way, it can clone the website and api repositories.

Finally, run the playbook:

fflux@fflux:~/repos/Ansible-Configuration$ ansible-playbook -v -i hosts web/install_website.yml
