This reverts commit 201165cff6.
Turns out this actually breaks initial deployments, because the
cache gets updated in the first task, then you add sources for
nginx and mariadb, but it doesn't update the indexes because the
cache is < 3600 seconds old, so you end up getting the distro's
versions of nginx and mariadb.
When you give Ansible the key id it will check if the key exists
before trying to download and add it. I got the long fingerprint
from `sudo apt-key finger`.
When I originally deployed Ubuntu 16.04 there were no public xenial
MariaDB builds yet, so I used wily (15.10). Now there are official
xenial builds so we can use them instead.
I have added cache_valid_time=3600 for the first task in each
tag that could be possibly running apt-related commands. For ex,
the "nginx" tag is also in the "packages" tag, but sometimes you
run the nginx tag by itself (perhaps repeatadely), so you'd want
to limit the update unless the cache was 1 hour old
I never modify file in the git repo, but the WordPress updater does
updates from the web (for example TwentySixteen theme), and this
always causes the task to fail when I switch WordPress versions.
This reverts commit a38d822fad.
The docs definitely recommend twice a day. From a note on certbot's
installation page:
> if you're setting up a cron or systemd job, we recommend running
> it twice per day (it won't do anything until your certificates
> are due for renewal or revoked, but running it regularly would
> give your site a chance of staying online in case a Let's
> Encrypt-initiated revocation happened for some reason). Please
> select a random minute within the hour for your renewal tasks.

I had removed them from Debian 8 and Ubuntu 14.04 configs last year
when the NSA's Suite B crypto guidelines dropped 128-bit algorithms
but those changes didn't make it to my new Ubuntu 16.04 config.
It is probably overkill and paranoid, but this server is mine, so I
can make those decisions (and I only connect from modern clients).
For idempotence we need to run all apt-related tasks, like editing
source files, adding keys, installing packages, etc, when running
the 'packages' tag.
Take an opinionated stance on HTTPS and assume that hosts are using
HTTPS for all vhosts. This can either be via custom TLS cert/key
pairs defined in the host's variables (could even be self-signed
certificates on dev boxes) or via Let's Encrypt.
Hosts can specify use_letsencrypt: 'yes' in their host_vars. For
now this assumes that the certificates already exist (ie, you have
to manually run Let's Encrypt first to register/create the certs).
When you use the apt_repository module it adds a sources.list with
an annoying filename, and also it's just easier to use a template
when we have different distros/versions to support.
The creation of the fastcgi cache dir is part of the nginx role and
should be labled as such. In situations where you only run nginx
tasks with `-t nginx` nginx will fail to start due to the missing
cache dir.

Everything is HTTPS now, whether self-signed or otherwise, so it
doesn't make sense to have a config switch for this.

It's just deduplication, since it's already obvious that the dict
is for nginx-related vars:
- nginx_domain_name→domain_name
- nginx_domain_aliases→domain_aliases
- nginx_enable_https→enable_https
- nginx_enable_hsts→enable_hsts

It would be bettwe to set these defaults in the role's defaults, but
we can't because they exist in dicts for each of the host's sites.

The `enable_https` option in host_vars becomes `nginx_enable_https`
to be more consistent with other nginx options used in host_vars.

I added another WordPress blog so I need more memory for caching
now. Eventually I wonder if I should deduplicate these somehow...

Set `use_snakeoil_cert: 'yes'` in host_vars. This is good for dev
hosts where we don't have real domains or real certs. But everything
should have TLS.

Automatically uses the best mirror for your location, see:

Should be much better than any hardcoded default for most hosts.

For now I generated the certs manually, but in the future the play-
book should run the letsencrypt-auto client for us!

We need to actually check if HSTS was requested before setting the
header in the block handing PHP requests. We check in the main vhost
block, but nginx headers are only inherited if you don't set ANY
headers in child blocks (ie, headers set in parent blocks are cleared
if you set any new ones in the child).

This is really a per-site setting, so it doesn't make sense to have
a role default. Anyways, HSTS is kinda tricky and potentially dang-
erous, so unless a vhost explicitly sets it to "yes" we shouldn't
enable it.
Note: also switch from using a boolean to using a string; it is st-
ill declarative, but at least now I don't have to guess whether it
is being treated as a bool or not.

We actually need to use /var/log/munin for munin-node on Debian
too, as that's what is created by the package manager during
installation.
