## installation steps - Copy `hosts.example` to `hosts`, modifying fields as adequate. - Look at `group_vars/all/vars.yml`, and set needed settings in `host_vars//vars.yml`. - Look at the following roles, and for each of them override their `defaults/vars.yml` in host or group vars: - `networking/connection` - `networking/ddclient` - `networking/nameserver` - `filesystems` - `firewall` - Create vault for secrets: ``` ansible-vault create host_vars/[hostname]/vault.yml ansible-vault edit host_vars/[hostname]/vault.yml ``` Copy-paste `group_vars/all/secret_template.yml` into this vault, and modify as needed. - Add secret files: ``` # Keyfile for LUKS disk encryption dd if=/dev/random of=roles/filesystems/files/host1.secret bs=1024 count=2 ansible-vault encrypt roles/filesystems/files/host1.secret # repeat the above for every host with encrypted external storage # This is a signing key for Matrix Synapse. It should be from a previous install. # If you don't have one, it should be generated by Synapse. ansible-vault encrypt roles/services/synapse/files/signing.key.secret ```
