Personal Cloud Automation Scripts

Personal Cloud

Ansible playbooks to deploy docker infrastructure on my personal virtual private server as well as some apps I use and develop.

This is a personal project, not intended to be reused. Feel free to copy snippets you find useful though.

Below is a cheat-sheet for myself on what do I have and how things are done, after I revisit the project after a year.

Common actions

Starting and accessing virtual server

$ cd virtual
$ vagrant up
$ vagrant ssh
virtual:~$ sudo docker ps

Setting up environment

Before you run any playbooks, you need a shell with some environment variables set. To load them, typically you do:

$ . .env

In case this file is lost, copy sample.env to .env and correct the variable values.

Typical ansible tasks

• Ping all hosts

  $ ansible all -m ping

• Set up services on single host:

  $ ansible-playbook -l virtual playbook-soaring-coupons.yaml

• Edit ansible vault (where all the secrets go)

  $ ansible-vault edit vars/fluent_vault.yaml

Docker

• Shell into running container:

  $ docker exec -it fluentd sh

Dokku

Dokku hosts various apps and databases.

• List apps:

  $ dokku apps:list
  

• Connect to running app container:

  $ dokku enter soaring-coupons

Fluentd

Fluentd collects and forwards logs to aggregators. Currently these are used:

• https://kedder.loggly.com/

Openvario

Static file hosting for openvario opkg repo. Files are hosted from /home/openvario/www dir and available through http://openvario.lebedev.lt/.
