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.

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.

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.

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).
Signed-off-by: Alan Orth <alan.orth@gmail.com>
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.

Note: I've only tested this on a Debian container, and you can't
set these sysctls on containers (the host controls them). To make
matters worse, there is no fact to make ansible skip this on hosts
that are running in containers. For now I will just skip it on
hosts that are "virtualization" servers... even though we actually
do have KVM running on Debian on real hardware. *sigh*

For security and predictability clients should only get a reponse
if they request a hostname we are actually hosting.
If TLS is in use then this will use a self-signed snakeoil cert for
an HTTPS-enabled blank, default vhost.

New hosts often fail due to not having an apt_mirror, because there
isn't one defined for their group and their host_vars haven't over-
ridden it.
We want new hosts to deploy successfully, so let's just use a default
apt_mirror if there isn't one defined. Rather have a slow mirror than
a failed deployment. And in any case, Linode can download from KENET's
mirror at 10MB/sec. ;)

Reduce memory allocation from 128 -> 72M because after a few days
of running it's only using 64 or so, so it's really just a waste of

Also, disable opcache for CLI. What the hell do you need opcaching
in the CLI invocation for? It only persists for one process!

nginx inherits headers from higher-level blocks UNLESS we also set
headers in the current block. In this case the FastCGI cache header
was being set, so we weren't getting the extra-security ones.

nginx blocks inherit headers set in blocks above them UNLESS the
current level also sets headers[0]. This was causing PHP requests
to not have STS headers because of the FastCGI cache header which
is set in that block.
