ansible-homelab

A set of Ansible playbooks that I use to boot strap a couple servers in my home lab

How to use

1. Clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/anthonyvetter/ansible-homelab.git

2. Remove the .example from the hosts file (or copy to new file)
3. Modify the hosts file to suit your needs
4. Go to the group_vars folder and remove the .example from the files (or copy to new files)
5. Modify the group_vars files to suit your needs
6. Run the playbooks with the --ask-become flag (these playbooks don't store credentials)

What they do

• These playbooks set up two servers in my home lab, a ZFS storage server and a Docker container server
• Not so much for recreating everything from scratch, these playbooks help to recover from a server failure, so they assume things like the disks in the server have a ZFS pool already.
• The playbooks are interactive and will prompt for vars during their run (like user names, passwords, and whatnot)
• bootstrap.yml sets up the base config for both servers
• storage-bootstrap.yml sets up the ZFS storage server
  • assumes a pool is already created and will prompt for pool name for import
  • Also sets up NFS shares which are modifiable in the group_vars files
• docker-bootstrap.yml sets up the docker server
  • Also modifies the fstab file to import shares from the storage server
