# Personal Infrastructure Ansible Playbook
This Ansible playbook automates the setup and management of a personal self-hosted infrastructure running Docker containers for various services.
## Overview
The playbook manages two main environments:
- **Bootstrap server** (`netcup`): Initial server setup with Tailscale VPN
- **Docker server** (`docker-01`): Main application server running containerized services
## Services Deployed
The Docker role deploys and manages the following self-hosted services:
- **Authentication**: Authentik (SSO/Identity Provider)
- **Media**: Audiobookshelf, Calibre, Pinchflat
- **Productivity**: Ghost blog, Gitea, Code Server, Grist, TasksMD, Stirling PDF, MMDL (Task Management)
- **Communication**: GoToSocial, Matrix (Conduit)
- **File Management**: Hoarder, Paperless-NGX, Syncthing, Manyfold
- **Monitoring**: Changedetection, Glance dashboard, Dawarich location tracking
- **Utilities**: Baikal (CalDAV/CardDAV), HeyForm, Pingvin Share, Pinry
- **Notifications**: Apprise API
- **Reverse Proxy**: Caddy

## Roles Documentation
Each role has detailed documentation in its respective directory:
### [Bootstrap Role](roles/bootstrap/README.md)
Performs initial server setup and hardening:
- Creates user accounts with SSH key authentication
- Configures passwordless sudo and security hardening
- Installs essential packages and configures UFW firewall
- Sets up Tailscale VPN for secure network access
### [Common Role](roles/common/README.md)
Provides shared configuration for all servers:
- Installs common packages (aptitude)
- Enables UFW firewall with default deny policy
- Ensures consistent base configuration across infrastructure
### [Cron Role](roles/cron/README.md)
Manages scheduled tasks and automation:
- **Warhammer RSS Feed Updater**: Daily job that generates and updates RSS feeds
- Integrates with Docker services for content generation
- Supports easy addition of new scheduled tasks
### [Docker Role](roles/docker/README.md)
The most comprehensive role, deploying 25+ containerized services:
- **Core Infrastructure**: Caddy reverse proxy, Authentik SSO, Dockge management
- **Development Tools**: Gitea, Code Server, Matrix communication
- **Media Management**: Audiobookshelf, Calibre, Ghost blog
- **Productivity**: Paperless-NGX, Baikal calendar, Glance dashboard
- **Security Features**: Centralized authentication, network isolation, container hardening
- **Monitoring**: Comprehensive service health monitoring and alerting
## Usage
### Prerequisites
1. Install Ansible and required collections:
```bash
ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml
```
2. Configure your inventory in `hosts.yml` with your server details
### Bootstrap a New Server
```bash
ansible-playbook bootstrap.yml -i hosts.yml
```
This will:
- Create a user account
- Install and configure Tailscale VPN
- Set up basic security
### Deploy Docker Services
```bash
ansible-playbook site.yml -i hosts.yml
```
Or deploy specific services using tags:
```bash
# Deploy only Caddy reverse proxy
ansible-playbook site.yml -i hosts.yml --tags caddy
# Deploy authentication services
ansible-playbook site.yml -i hosts.yml --tags authentik
# Deploy task management
ansible-playbook site.yml -i hosts.yml --tags mmdl
```
### Manage DNS Records
```bash
ansible-playbook dns.yml -i hosts.yml
```
Updates AWS Route53 DNS records for configured domains (`thesatelliteoflove.com` and `nerder.land`).
## Configuration
- Service configurations are templated in `roles/docker/templates/`
- Environment variables and secrets should be managed through Ansible Vault
- Docker Compose files are generated from Jinja2 templates
## Security Notes
- Uses Tailscale for secure network access
- Caddy provides automatic HTTPS with Let's Encrypt
- Services are containerized for isolation
- UFW firewall rules are managed via Docker integration
