Loki Ansible Playbooks
======================

Ansible playbooks for provisioning the server.

Requirements
------------

Make sure you have ``ansible`` installed.

Usage
-----

Before any provisioning

1. Copy ``secrets.def.yml`` to ``secrets.yml`` and fill out all the variables
2. Encrypt the file with

::

   ansible-vault encrypt secrets.yml

3. To run a playbook

::

   ansible-playbook --vault-id @prompt playbook.yml

From this point it is assumed you have a server which can accept SSH
connections and you have setup public key authentication.

To provision the server

1. First install ``python`` on the server which is required by ``ansible``

::

   ansible-playbook --vault-id @prompt python.yml

2. Configure the SSH daemon with a new port number and better security options

::

   ansible-playbook --vault-id @prompt ssh.yml

3. Set up the bare metal machine

::

   ansible-playbook --vault-id @prompt machine.yml

4. Install and start the dockerised ``loki`` server

::

   ansible-playbook --vault-id @prompt loki.yml
