Ansible Playbook

Ansible playbook for base and initial configuration of the web server hosting my personal websites. After successful execution of this playbook, however, there is still some manual work to import databases, copy site content, etc.

Assumptions

Before you can run this, a few things are assumed:

• You have a clean, minimal Ubuntu 20.04 or Debian 11 host up and running
• Python 3 is installed on the remote server (requirement of Ansible)
• You have a user account with password-less SSH access to the machine
• You have sudo privileges on the remote host
• You have created a hosts file with something like:

[web]
web01

Use

Once you've satisfied the the above assumptions, you can execute:

$ ansible-playbook web.yml

Todo

• Switch from cron-apt to unattended-upgrades
