40ac858d60 roles/common: Ignore errors removing snaps
If the snap binary doesn't even exist then it means we've probably
already run this playbook and removed all installed snaps as well.

ba3004ef2b roles/common: Don't run rc.local task on Ubuntu 20.04
We haven't actually used rc.local since Ubuntu 16.04. Now anything
that we need to run at boot we can do with systemd anyways.

ef6ce2335e roles/common: Remove systemd-journald drop-in
Older Ubuntus originally didn't use a persistent journal, which was
somewhat of a surprise when looking at logs after a few months. Now
this does not seem to be an issue since Ubuntu 18.04. As for CentOS
I do not use that distro here so I don't need to care.

96f62a17d1 roles/common: Use nftables backend in firewalld on Ubuntu 20.04
The nftables backend should be more performant and flexible. I had
been planning to use it on Ubuntu 18.04 and Debian 10 as well, but
there were issues with the specific versions used in those distros.

See: https://firewalld.org/2018/07/nftables-backend

29bbc14068 roles/common: Remove ufw from Ubuntu systems
We never used this simple firewall utility and in at least one case
a user on the server tried to use it and messed up the rules I had
set via firewalld.

The list of pre-installed snaps and system packages is different on
Ubuntu 20.04 than it was in previous LTS releases.

roles/common: Use iptables backend for firewalld on Debian
For some reason the nftables set support in firewalld doesn't seem
to be working. I see that sets (aka ipsets in nftables lingo) are
created, but they are empty. For now I will just leave these tasks
as they are to revert the behavior on current hosts (should do no
change on new installed, as the regexp won't match).

roles/common: Add support for fail2ban
This is active banning of IPs that are brute forcing login attempts
to SSH, versus the passive banning of 10,000 abusive IPs from the
abuseipdb.com blacklist. For now I am banning IPs that fail to log
in successfully more than twelve times in a one-hour period, but
these settings might change, and I can override them at the group
and host level if needed.

Currently this works for CentOS 7, Ubuntu 16.04, and Ubuntu 18.04,
with minor differences in the systemd configuration due to older
versions on some distributions.

You can see the status of the jail like this:

    # fail2ban-client status sshd
    Status for the jail: sshd
    |- Filter
    |  |- Currently failed: 0
    |  |- Total failed:     0
    |  `- Journal matches:  _SYSTEMD_UNIT=sshd.service + _COMM=sshd
    `- Actions
       |- Currently banned: 1
       |- Total banned:     1
       `- Banned IP list:   106.13.112.20

You can unban IPs like this:

    # fail2ban-client set sshd unbanip 106.13.112.20

roles/common: Use individual calls with firewalld
Seems to work around an issue when firewalld is using the nftables
backend with iptables 1.8.2 on Debian 10. Alternatively I could go
back to using the iptables backend... hmm.

roles/common: Use nftables firewalld backend on Debian 10
nftables is the iptables replacement. There is support for nftables
in firewalld since v0.6.0.

roles/common: Don't use iptables from buster-backports
This causes problems every time I re-run the Ansible tag because the
nightly apt security uses a different sources.list and the indexes
are then missing buster-backports. I could add a cache update to the
task, but actually I think the original bug I was trying to solve is
finally fixed, and I'm going to switch to nftables anyways.

roles/common: Restart firewalld instead of reload

roles/common: Add ipsets of abusive IPs to firewalld
This uses the ipsets feature of the Linux kernel to create lists of
IPs (though could be MACs, IP:port, etc) that we can block via the
existing firewalld zone we are already using. In my testing it works
on CentOS 7, Ubuntu 16.04, and Ubuntu 18.04.

The list of abusive IPs currently comes from HPC's systemd journal,
where I filtered for hosts that had attempted and failed to log in
over 100 times. The list is formatted with tidy, for example:

    $ tidy -xml -iq -m -w 0 roles/common/files/abusers-ipv4.xml

roles/common: Use iptables 1.8.3 on Debian Buster
There is a bug in iptables 1.8.2 in Debian 10 "Buster" that causes
firewalld to fail when restoring rules. The bug has been fixed in
iptables 1.8.3, which is currently in buster-backports.

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: 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: 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.
