This repo contains playbooks and associated roles for configuring Ubuntu VMs or Raspberry Pi running Debian 11 (bullseye) with Ansible 2.14.4 for different purposes. The playbooks contained at the root of this repository mostly call roles in this repository rather than executing tasks themselves.
The add_public_key.yml playbook adds a single SSH public key to all hosts' authorized_keys file.
The configure_fileserver.yml playbook configures the following services:
- FTP
- Samba
- VNC
- UFW (uncomplicated firewall)
It will also mount the attached USB drive and make that mount persistent across reboots. Check the README for more information.
The configure_pihole.yml playbook retrieves the Pi-hole install script and configures UFW to allow port 53 (DNS) and port 80 (Pi-hole management page). The playbook does not run the install script because the installation process is interactive. Instead, the playbook displays a message for the user to run the script.
The configure_plex.yml playbook installs the Plex Media Server and configures UFW to allow the Plex management port so it can be managed from another host.
Each role has its own README, so I will not duplicate that documentation here.
The inventory file is standard, but should include the ansible_user property to ensure proper connectivity to the remote host. Here is an example of what the inventory file might look like.
