Ansible Playbook for Debian Server Setup.

With the help of Ansible, you can automate (almost) all the steps for setting up a server. No more adhoc (read: unreliable) bash scripts for server provisioning.
This playbook provides a convenient setup for a Debian server, which is mainly used for my personal server management.

Requirements

  1. Ansible 1.5+
  2. Debian "wheezy" hosts

Features

  1. targeted on Debian Linux
  2. offers some sane defaults:
    • unnecesasry packages (shipped with Debian) removed
    • APT sources switched to unstable (sid)
    • user created with sudo and SSH public key access
    • root login on SSH disabled
  3. installs and sets up packages:
    • fail2ban
    • nginx
    • nodejs
    • runit
    • shadowsocks
    • a few utils

Usage

  1. set up Ansible following instructions here
  2. git clone https://github.com/iwinux/transmute.git
  3. cp site.yml.tmpl site.yml and pick up things you need.
  4. define necessary vars in group_vars/{{ group }} or host_vars/{{ host }} (see group_vars/all and host_vars/host.tmpl for example)
  5. ansible-playbook site.yml and you're good to go!
