We use this repo to keep track of our servers' configuration files. Anyone can request to make changes by following the guide in the Contribute badge above!
We use ansible to set up a cron job that runs ansible-pull daily, which will run the local.yml playbook as it is on GitHub.
The playbook will:
- Copy files appropriate to each server as defined in
host_vars - (in the future) merge yaml files and replace secrets using jinja2 templates
- Restart the servers
Ansible-pull also has an option to only run when changes are present in git, which we use.
- Set the server hostname to something identifiable
- Configure what servers run on that server under
host_vars/<hostname>.yml - Install Ansible on your server
- Run the command inside
update-configs.shon the appropriate server. The rest is done automatically.
The (Ansible) automation part of this project is under the MIT license in the LICENSE file. The server configs themselves (under servers/) remain unlicensed.
