homeserver_ansible

Ansible playbook to bootstrap my homeserver

Running the playbook

Install passlib

The playbook asks for a new password for default user. Thus, passlib python library needs to be installed. It's better to make a virtual environment to not pollute the host system, so run:

python3 -m venv .env && \
source .env/bin/activate && \
pip install -r requirements.txt

to create the virtual environment, load (source) it and install passlib

Run

The playbook can be run with ansible-playbook bootstrap.yml -K. The host in bootstrap.yml should be set to rpi

Test

Testing is done through a debian docker image, built through the Dockerfile. To build the image:

docker build -t debian_ssh .

The image exposes an SSH server to which you can connect to.

Once the build is complete, you can run the container with:

docker run -p 22:22 -d debian_ssh

SSH Connection Setup

You will need to copy the ansible ssh key:

scp ~/.ssh/id_homeserver_ansible_login.pub test@172.17.0.2:~/.ssh/authorized_keys

The password for test user is test.

If the ssh connection has been configure correctly, you'll be able to connect to the container through ssh with a simple:

ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_homeserver_ansible_login test@172.17.0.2

(IP address may vary)

The host in bootstrap.yml should be set to test.

Refer to Run section for launching the playbook.
