roles/common: Synchronize Debian package task with Ubuntu 2019-07-06 21:36:04 +03:00

roles/common: Use a fact for base packages on Debian
This is safer and ends up being faster because all packages get in-
stalled in one apt transaction.

1b4e9ae87c roles/common: Install Python 3 version of pycurl on Debian 10
Debian 10 comes with Python 2 and Python 3 (at least from the ISO),
so we should prefer the Python 3 version of pycurl. We'll see whet-
her cloud providers like Linode and Digital Ocean ship with Python
3 or not in their default image.

Smarter updating of apt index during playbook execution
We can register changes when adding repositories and keys and then
update the apt package index conditionally. This should make it be
more consistent between initial host setup and subsequent re-runs.

roles/common: Ignore tarsnap key errors
Ansible errors on adding the tarsnap signing key because it is not
valid (expired a month ago). I contacted Colin Percival about this
on Twitter but he did not seem worried for some reason.

roles/common: Use one task to remove Ubuntu packages
I had previously been removing some packages for security reasons,
then removing others because they were annoying, and yet *others*
because they were annoying on newer Ubuntus only. It is easier to
just unify these tasks and remove them all in one go.

On older Ubuntus where some packages don't exist the task will just
succeed because the package is absent anyways.

roles/common: Remove more annoying packages on Ubuntu
Ubuntu 16.04 and up install a bunch of their technologies that I'm
not using, like lxc, lxd, and snaps.

roles/common: Use a persistent systemd journal
The default systemd journal configuration on CentOS 7 and Ubuntu
16.04 does not keep journal logs for multiple boots. This limits
the usefulness of the journal entirely (for example, try to see
sshd logs from even two or three months ago!).

Changing the storage to "persistent" makes systemd keep the logs
on disk in /var/log/journal for up to 2% of the partition size.

roles/common: Add task to copy tarsnaprc
One less thing to do manually after server provisioning, and there is
nothing sensitive in here anyways.

roles/common: Use blocks to tag children of dynamic tasks
When using dynamic includes, child tasks do not inherit tags from their
parents. You must tag the parent and each child task separately, or use
a block to group children and then apply a tag to a block.

See: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/porting_guides/porting_guide_2.5.html

roles: Remove unreachable "packages" tags
After reörganizing for dynamic includes these tags will never be reached
because the children of dynamic includes do not inherit tags from their
parents as they did with static imports.

roles/common: Use dynamic include_tasks for firewall
Use dynamic includes instead of static imports when you are running
tasks conditionally or using variable interpolation. The down side
is that you need to then tag the parent task as well as all child
tasks, as tags only apply to children of statically imported tasks.

roles/common: Use dynamic include_tasks for packages
Basically, when using conditionals or variables in your tasks you should
use include_tasks instead of import_tasks. The down side is that you now
need to tag all included tasks individually or with a block, unlike when
using static imports (tags are applied to all imported child tasks).

I would actually like to reduce this task to a single one that uses the
host's ansible_distribution variable, but Ansible 2.5.1 currently gives
the following error: ansible_distribution is undefined.

Import OS-specific vars from task in common role
We stopped being able to do dynamic includes from the playbooks around
Ansible 2.4.0.0 if I recall correctly. Instead we can create a task to
include the variables and make it always run by using the special tag.

For now the Debian and Ubuntu vars files are the same, but I will keep
them separate so that it is more flexible in the future.

Update with_items loops to use new-ish "loop" keyword
Ansible 2.4 and 2.5 are moving away from specialized loop functions
and the old syntax will eventually be deprecated and removed. I did
not change the with_fileglob loops because I'm not sure about their
syntax yet.

roles/common: Use command module instead of shell
You should only use the "shell" module when you need shell functions
like flow control and redirects. Also, the "command" module is safer
because it is not affected by the user's environment.

This was new in Ansible 2.2 but I didn't notice until now. All of our

Revert "Import OS-specific vars in tasks instead of play"
This reverts commit e30e4d4b1e.

I suspect this was a side effect of using Python 3 rather than an
issue in Ansible 2.4.0.0.

Revert "roles/common: Use static imports for tasks"
This reverts commit 5147f4029b.

I think this was a side effect of using Python 3, not a regression in
Ansible 2.4.0.0.

roles/common: Use static imports for tasks
Something seems to have happened as of Ansible 2.4.0.0 where this no
longer works. I suspect it is related to the major changes to static
and dynamic imports that landed around this same time.

In practice this achieves the same function, but without the "magic"
ability to use one task for different operating systems.

We make sure that this tasks always runs by using the special tag of
the same name.
