# VPS set up playbooks

Contains ansible playbooks to set up VPS instances.

## Requirements

A virtual host installed with Ubuntu Server 18. You will need the root password initially.
You should have a password for the new SSH login user ready.

Technical dependencies on host machine (Python 2.7 or 3.5+):

* python / python3
* python-pip / python3-pip
* python-apt / python3-apt

Technical dependencies on managed machines:

* python / python3

Install further dependencies on the host machine: ``pip install -r requirements.txt``

## Usage

After cloning the repo to your ansible host, copy ``hosts.example`` to
``hosts`` and  fill the file appropriately. If you use Python 3 on the managed
machine, you probably need to adapt the ``ansible_python_interpreter``
variable.

Furthermore, you have to copy the ``*_vars.yml.example`` files and
update the variable values.

The initial setup assumes an OVH VPS machine (login via root password).
If your machine already has a login user with passwordless sudo and a
locked root password (Ubuntu default) then you can directly start with
the other playbooks.

As of now Ubuntu Server 18 installations are expected.

* initial setup: ``ansible-playbook -i hosts initial-setup.yml --ask-pass``
* collabora setup: ``ansible-playbook -i hosts collabora.yml``
* drone setup: ``ansible-playbook -i hosts drone.yml``
* collabora + drone setup: ``ansible-playbook -i hosts site.yml``
