Setup Ansible

To get started, follow the installation guide to setup ansible on your machine

Setup a new User

Create a new hosts.ini file:
```
cp ../hosts.example.ini hosts.ini
```
Edit the hosts.ini file to run the playbook on a remote machine:
```
[deployment_host]
<host_name> ansible_host=<target_ip> ansible_user=<ssh_user> ansible_ssh_common_args='-o ForwardAgent=yes'
```
- Replace <host_name> with the desired hostname of the remote machine
- Replace <target_ip> with the IP address or hostname of the target machine
- Replace <ssh_user> with root

Verify that you are able to connect to the host using the following command:

ansible all -m ping -i hosts.ini

# Expected output:

# <host_name> | SUCCESS => {
#  "ansible_facts": {
#      "discovered_interpreter_python": "/usr/bin/python3.10"
#  },
#  "changed": false,
#  "ping": "pong"
# }

Setup user-vars.yml using the example file

cd vars
cp user-vars.example.yml user-vars.yml

Edit the following vars:

# name of the user you want to setup on the target host
username: ""

# password of the user you want to setup on the target host
password: ""

# path to the ssh key on your machine
path_to_ssh_key: "

Execute the setup-user.yml Ansible playbook to create a user with passwordless sudo permissions:

cd ../
ansible-playbook setup-user.yml -i hosts.ini --extra-vars='{ "target_host": "deployment_host" }'

Prerequisites

Buy a domain and configure nameservers to DigitalOcean
Generate a DigitalOcean access token
Create a PGP key on your target host
```
gpg --full-generate-key
```

List the secret keys

gpg --list-secret-keys --keyid-format=long

This will output something like this

[keyboxd]
---------
sec   rsa4096/0AFB10B643944C22 2024-05-03 [SC] [expires: 2025-05-03]
      17B3248D6784EC6CB43365A60AFB10B643944C22
uid                 [ultimate] user <hello@laconic.com>

Note the 0AFB10B643944C22 sequence of characters after sec. This will be required later.

Copy the vars files:

cd vars
cp dns-vars.example.yml dns-vars.yml
cp gpg-vars.example.yml gpg-vars.yml
cp k8s-vars.example.yml k8s-vars.yml
cp container-vars.example.yml container-vars.yml
cp webapp-vars.example.yml webapp-vars.yml

Update the following values in the respective variable files:

# vars/dns-vars.yml
full_domain: ""               # eg: laconic.com
subdomain_prefix: ""          # eg: lcn-cad
cluster_control_ip: ""        # eg: 23.111.78.179
do_api_token: ""              # eg: dop_v1...

# vars/gpg-vars.yml
gpg_user_name: ""         # Full name of the user for the GPG key
gpg_user_email: ""        # Email address associated with the GPG key
gpg_passphrase: ""        # Passphrase for securing the GPG key

# vars/k8s-vars.yml
target_host: "deployment_host"
org_id: ""                    # eg: lcn
location_id: ""               # eg: cad
base_domain: ""               # eg: laconic
support_email: ""             # eg: support@laconic.com

# vars/container-vars.yml
container_registry_username: "" # username to login to the container registry
container_registry_password: "" # password to login to the container registry

# vars/webapp-vars.yml
authority_name: ""      # eg: my-org-name
cpu_reservation: ""     # Minimum number of cpu cores to be used, eg: 2
memory_reservation: ""  # Minimum amount of memory in GB to be used, eg: 4G

Update ansible_user in the hosts.ini file to the user on target host
Run the service-provider-setup.yml ansible-playbook to DNS records, deploy k8s, setup container registry, deploy the webapp-deployer API and webapp-deployer UI
```
ansible-playbook service-provider-setup.yml -i hosts.ini --extra-vars='{ target_host: "deployment_host" }' --user $USER
```
