Role Reference
==============


Common parameters
-----------------

A number of common parameters are used by all of the roles during
deployment. This section lists such parameters.

**enable_backup** (boolean, optional, ``False``)
  If set to ``True``, and the role supports backups, server will be configured
  for back-up of role's data. See role description for more details on what is
  backed-up and if the option is available. Just keep in mind that if you enable
  this globally, all the roles will be running backup-specific tasks. If the
  option has been enabled, the ``backup_client`` role will be included
  automatically (see the role reference for details on parameters that need to
  be provided in the case).


Preseed
-------

The ``preseed`` role can be used for generating simple preseed files for Debian
Wheezy installations.

The generated preseed files allow simplified installation, with a single root
partition. There is a number of parameters that allow for customising the
content of preseed files.

It is possible to specify parameter values that should be used for all servers,
as well for individual servers. It is also possible to combine this approach,
defining global parameters that get overridden per server.

The role will by default process all hosts from the inventory, generating one
preseed file per server.


Parameters
~~~~~~~~~~

**ansible_key** (string, mandatory)
  SSH public key that should be deployed to authorized_keys truststore for
  operating system user ``root``. This is necessary for the bootstrap process
  to work since Debian does not allow password-based logins for root.

**preseed_country** (string, optional, ``SE``)
  Country.

**preseed_directory** (string, mandatory)
  Destination directory where the preseed files should be stored.

  .. warning::
     Do not name this directory ``preseed`` if it lies on a path where Ansible
     would normally look-up the roles (it will conflict with the role name).

**preseed_dns** (string, mandatory if **preseed_network_auto** is ``no``)
  Comma-separated list of DNS servers.

**preseed_domain** (string, mandatory if **preseed_network_auto** is ``no``)
  Server domain.

**preseed_gateway** (string, mandatory if **preseed_network_auto** is ``no``)
  Default gateway for the server.

**preseed_hostname** (string, mandatory if **preseed_network_auto** is ``no``)
  Server hostname.

**preseed_ip** (string, mandatory if **preseed_network_auto** is ``no``)
  IP address for the server network interface.

**preseed_keymap** (string, optional, ``us``)
  Keymap.

**preseed_language** (string, optional, ``en``)
  Language.

**preseed_locale** (string, optional, ``en_US.UTF-8``)
  Locale.

**preseed_mirror_directory** (string, optional, ``/debian``)
  Directory under which the Debian apt repositories can be found on the
  specified mirror.

**preseed_mirror_hostname** (string, optional, ``ftp.se.debian.org``)
  Resolvable hostname of FQDN where the Debian apt repositories can be
  found. Only HTTP mirrors are supported.

**preseed_mirror_proxy** (string, optional, ``None``)
  An HTTP proxy that should be used for accessing the Debian apt
  repositories.

**preseed_netmask** (string, mandatory if **preseed_network_auto** is ``no``)
  Netmask for the server network interface.

**preseed_network_auto** (boolean, optional, ``yes``)
  Specifies whether the network configuration should be automatic (using DHCP)
  or manual. If manual configuration is selected a number of additional options
  needs to be specified: ``preseed_hostname``, ``preseed_domain``,
  ``preseed_ip``, ``preseed_netmask``, ``preseed_gateway``,
  ``preseed_dns``. For some of these values you may want to use per-server
  overrides - see parameter ``preseed_server_overrides``.

**preseed_network_interface** (string, optional, ``eth0``)
  Name of network interface (for example ``eth0``, ``eth1`` etc) that should be
  configured.

**preseed_root_password** (string, optional, ``root``)
  Initial password that should be set for the server during the installation.

**preseed_server_overrides** (string, optional, ``{}``)
  A dictionary consisting out of one or more entries where individual values for
  preseed files can be overridden per-server. Each entry's key should be the
  name of the server, as specified in the inventory. Each value should also be a
  dictionary, where valid keys are: ``country``, ``dns``, ``domain``,
  ``gateway``, ``hostname``, ``ip``, ``keymap``, ``language``, ``locale``,
  ``mirror_directory``, ``mirror_hostname``, ``mirror_proxy``, ``netmask``,
  ``network_auto``, ``network_interface``, ``root_password``,
  ``timezone``. These have the same meaning as their ``preseed_`` counterparts.

**preseed_timezone** (string, optional, ``Europe/Stockholm``)
  Timezone that should be used when calculating server time. It is assumed that
  the local hardware clock is set to UTC.


Distribution compatibility
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Role is compatible with the following distributions:

- Debian 12 (Bookworm)


Examples
~~~~~~~~

Here is an example configuration for a preseed file that sets some global
defaults to be used for all servers, and then overrides it for one server:

.. code-block:: yaml

  ---

  ansible_key: {{ lookup('file', '~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub') }}
  preseed_country: UK
  preseed_directory: /var/www/preseed
  preseed_keymap: UK
  preseed_language: en
  preseed_locale: en_UK.UTF-8
  preseed_mirror_directory: /debian
  preseed_mirror_hostname: ftp.uk.debian.org
  preseed_mirror_proxy: ""
  preseed_network_auto: yes
  preseed_network_interface: eth0
  preseed_root_password: secret
  preseed_timezone: Europe/London
  preseed_server_overrides:
    ldap.example.com:
      network_auto: no
      hostname: ldap
      domain: example.com
      ip: 192.168.1.20
      netmask: 255.255.255.0
      gateway: 192.168.1.1
      dns: 192.168.1.1,192.168.1.2
      timezone: Europe/Stockholm


Bootstrap
---------

The ``bootstrap`` role can be used for bootstraping a new server with
Ansible. In order to apply this role to a server, all that is necessary is root
access to the server (either via SSH or locally).

The role implements the following:

* Installs sudo package.
* Creates operating system user and group for Ansible (``ansible``).
* Sets-up an authorized_key for operating system user ``ansible`` (for remote
  SSH access).
* Configures sudo to allow operating system user ``ansible`` to run sudo
  commands without password authentication.
* Removes the Ansible user's key from the list of authorized keys for user root
  at the end of bootstrap process. This key was necessary only for the bootstrap
  process.


Parameters
~~~~~~~~~~

**ansible_key** (string, mandatory)
  SSH public key that should be deployed to authorized_keys truststore for
  operating system user ``ansible``.


Distribution compatibility
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Role is compatible with the following distributions:

- Debian 12 (Bookworm)


Examples
~~~~~~~~

Since the role is meant to be used just after the server has been installed, and
using the ``root`` account, it is probably going to be invoked from a separate
playbook.

For example, a playbook (``bootstrap.yml``) could look something similar to:

.. code-block:: yaml

  ---

  - hosts: "{{ server }}"
    remote_user: root
    roles:
      - bootstrap
    vars:
      ansible_key: "{{ lookup('file', 'authorized_keys/ansible.pub') }}"

With such a playbook in place, it would be invoked with::

  ansible-playbook --ask-pass -e server=test1.example.com bootstrap.yml


Common
------

The ``common`` role can be used for applying a common configuration and
hardening across all servers, no matter what services they provide.

The role implements the following:

* Configures apt to use caching proxy (if any was specified).
* Sets-up umask for all logins to ``0027``.
* Installs sudo.
* Sets-up uniform bash prompt for all accounts (optionally coloured and with
  identifier). This is useful for distinguishing machines and/or environments.
* Sets-up ability to have user-specific ``/etc/profile.d/`` entries via
  ``$HOME/.profile.d/``.
* Installs additional base packages, as configured.
* Disables ``electric-indent-mode`` in Emacs globally if either the ``emacs24``
  or ``emacs24-nox`` are installed through the role.
* Creates additional operating system groups, as configured.
* Creates additional operating system users, as configured.
* Hardens the SSH server by disabling remote ``root`` logins and password-based
  authentication.
* Allows traversing of directory ``/etc/ssl/private/`` to everyone. This lets
  you put TLS private keys in central location where any operating system user
  can reach them provided they have appropriate read/write rights on the file
  itself, and provided they know the exact path of the file.
* Deploys CA certificate files, normally used for truststore purposes, to
  ``/usr/local/share/ca-certificates/``.
* Installs ``ferm`` (for iptables management), configuring a basic firewall
  which allows ICMP echo requests (PING), incoming connection on TCP port 22
  (SSH), and also introduces rate-limitting for incoming ICMP echo request
  pacakges and (new) TCP connections. The rate-limitting is based on the source
  IP address, using the ``iptables hashlimit`` module.
* Sets-up system for performing checks on certificates (currently only if they
  expire within less than 30 days). Roles that want their certificates checked
  should deploy a ``.conf`` to directory ``/etc/check_certificate/`` with paths
  to certificate files, one per line. Certificates are checked on
  daily basis, using crontab (resulting in failures being sent out to
  the ``root`` user).
* Deploys ``apticron`` package that performs checks for available package
  upgrades on daily basis. Mails are delivered to local ``root`` account, and
  can be redirected elsewhere via aliases. If using ``mail_forwarder`` or
  ``mail_server`` roles on the same server, aliases can be set-up through them.
* Sets-up system for performing checks on pip requirements
  files. Roles that want their requirements files checked should
  create a sub-directory inside of
  ``/etc/pip_check_requirements_upgrades``, and place ``.txt`` and
  ``.in`` files inside (with same base name). The ``.txt`` files
  should be standard requirements files with fixed versions (the ones
  installed by the role). The ``.in`` files should contain only the
  top-level packages (no dependencies). Avoid hard-coding versions in
  the ``.in`` file unless really needed. For packages where you want
  to stick to stable/LTS version branch, you should be able to use
  ``~=`` operator (for example ``django~=1.8.0``. Checks are
  implemented via `pip-tools <https://github.com/jazzband/pip-tools>`_
  and a custom script that outputs diffs if upgrades are
  available. Script is run via cronjob on daily basis, and any output
  will be delivered to local ``root`` user.
* Optionally configures time synchronisation using NTP (if
  ``ntp_pools`` parameter is set).

  transformed into ``dc=example,dc=com``.

**ldap_server_organization** (string, optional, ``Private``)
  Organization that should be specified in the base DN entry.

**ldap_server_log_level** (string, optional, ``256``)

XMPP Server
-----------

The ``xmpp_server`` role can be used for setting-up Prosody, an XMPP server, on
destination machine.

The role implements the following:

* Deploys XMPP TLS private key and certificate.

  .. warning::
     The issued certificate must have multiple FQDNs listed as subject
     alternative names (DNS names) for each configured domain:

     - domain itself
     - ``conference.DOMAIN``
     - ``proxy.DOMAIN``

     A daily cron job is run to validate that all certificates have
     been configured and issued correctly.

* Installs Prosody.
* Configures Prosody.
* Configures firewall to allow incoming connections to the XMPP server.

Prosody is configured as follows:

* Modules enabled: roster, saslauth, tls, dialback, posix, private, vcard,
  version, uptime, time, ping, pep, register, admin_adhoc, announce,
  legacyauth, carbons, mam.
* Self-registration is not allowed.
* TLS is configured. Legacy TLS is available on port 5223.
* Client-to-server communication requires encryption (TLS).
* Uses 2048-bit Diffie-Hellman parameters for relevant TLS ciphers for
  incoming connections.
* Configures TLS versions and ciphers supported by Prosody (for
  *c2s*/client connections only).
* Authentication is done via LDAP. For setting the LDAP TLS truststore, see
  :ref:`LDAP Client <ldap_client>`.
* Internal storage is used.
* For each domain specified, a dedicated conference/multi-user chat (MUC)
  service is set-up, with FQDN set to ``conference.DOMAIN``.
* For each domain specified, a dedicated file proxy service will be set-up, with
  FQDN set to ``proxy.DOMAIN``.

Prosody expects a specific directory structure in LDAP when doing look-ups:

* Prosody will log-in to LDAP as user
  ``cn=prosody,ou=services,XMPP_LDAP_BASE_DN``.
* User entries are read from sub-tree (first-level only)
  ``ou=people,XMPP_LDAP_BASE_DN``. Query filter used for finding users is
  ``(&(mail=$user@$host)(memberOf=cn=xmpp,ou=groups,XMPP_LDAP_BASE_DN))``. This
  allows group-based granting of XMPP service to users.


LDIF Templates
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For adding user to a group, use::

  dn: cn=xmpp,ou=groups,BASE_DN
  changetype: modify
  add: uniqueMember
  uniqueMember: uid=USERNAME,ou=people,BASE_DN

  xmpp_tls_key: "{{ lookup('file', '/etc/prosody/certs/localhost.key') }}"
  xmpp_tls_certificate: "{{ lookup('file', '/etc/prosody/certs/localhost.crt') }}"


Mail Server
-----------

.. warning::
   It may happen that the ``clamav-freshclam`` service hasn't finished
   downloading the virus database before the ``clamav-daemon`` and
   ``clamav-milter`` services are enabled during the initial run. If mail server
   is not operational, you may need to wait for a little while for download to
   finish, and then restart the ``clamav-daemon`` and ``clamav-milter``
   services.

The ``mail_server`` role can be used for setting-up a complete mail server
solution, which includes both SMTP and IMAP service, on destination machine.

Postfix is used SMTP, while Dovecot is used for IMAP.

The role implements the following:

* Installs rsync.
* Deploys IMAP/SMTP TLS private keys and certificates.
* Installs and configures Dovecot, Postfix, ClamAV, and ClamAV Milter.
* Purges Exim4 configuration (just in case).
* Sets-up aliases for the local recipients.
* Installs SWAKS (utility for testing SMTP servers).
* Sets-up the necessary directories and files under Postfix chroot.
* Configures firewall to allow incoming connections to the mail server. This
  includes set-up of redirection from TCP port 26 to TCP port 587 (alternate
  submission port), as well as redirection from TCP port 27 to TCP port 25
  (alternate SMTP port), useful as workaround for ISP/hotel blocks.

Deployed services are configured as follows:

* Both Postfix and Dovecot look-up available domains, users, and aliases in
  LDAP.
* Incoming and outgoing mail is scanned with ClamAV (via ClamAV
  Milter). Infected mails are rejected.
* Mail is stored in directory ``/var/MAIL_USER/DOMAIN/USER``, using ``Maildir``
  format.
* TLS is required for user log-ins for both SMTP and IMAP.
* Uses 2048-bit Diffie-Hellman parameters for relevant TLS ciphers for
  incoming connections.
* For user submission (SMTP), users must connect and authenticate over TCP
  port 587.
* Configures TLS versions and ciphers supported by Dovecot.
* Configures TLS versions and ciphers supported by Postfix on submission port
  (587). TLS configuration on port 25 is kept intact in order to maintain maximum
  interoperability with other servers.
* RBL's are used for combating spam (if any is specified in configuration, see
  below).
* Postfix is configured to deliver undeliverable bounces to postmaster. This
  helps with detecting misconfigured applications and servers.
* Postfix is configured to prevent forging of sender addresses for
  logged-in users. Logged-in users can use either their own e-mail as
  sender, or one of the aliases associated with their e-mail.

Both Postfix and Dovecot expect a specific directory structure in LDAP when
doing look-ups:

* Postfix will log-in to LDAP as user
  ``cn=postfix,ou=services,MAIL_LDAP_BASE_DN``.
* Dovecot will log-in to LDAP as user
  ``cn=dovecot,ou=services,MAIL_LDAP_BASE_DN``.
* Domain entries need to be available as
  ``dc=DOMAIN,ou=domains,ou=mail,ou=services,MAIL_LDAP_BASE_DN``.
* Alias entries need to be available as
  ``cn=ALIAS,ou=aliases,ou=mail,ou=services,MAIL_LDAP_BASE_DN``.
* User entries are read from sub-tree (first-level only)
  ``ou=people,MAIL_LDAP_BASE_DN``. Query filter used for finding users is
  ``(&(mail=%s)(memberOf=cn=mail,ou=groups,MAIL_LDAP_BASE_DN))``. This allows
  group-based granting of mail services to users.

Mail Forwarder
--------------

The ``mail_forwarder`` role can be used for setting-up a local SMTP server for
sending out mails and receiving mails for local users. The SMTP server is
provided by Postfix.

SMTP service on server set-up this way is not meant to be exposed to the
Internet directly, and should receive delivery failures from the relay server
instead.

The role implements the following:

* Installs and configures Postfix.
* Purges Exim4 configuration (just in case).
* Sets-up aliases for the local recipients.
* Installs SWAKS (utility for testing SMTP servers).
* Configures firewall to accept SMTP connections from SMTP relay (if
  one has been configured). This allows for delivery of bounced
  e-mails.

  .. note::
     Firewall rules are based on IPv4 and IPv6 addresses resolved via
     managed server at time of deployment. If the SMTP relay changes
     its IP addresess, this role needs to be reapplied against the
     managed machines.

Postfix is configured as follows:

* Local destinations are set-up.
* A relay host is set.
* TLS is enforced for relaying mails, with configurable truststore for server
  certificate verification if SMTP relay is used. If SMTP relay is not used
  (configured), no certificate verification is done.
* Uses 2048-bit Diffie-Hellman parameters for relevant TLS ciphers for
  incoming connections.

Parameters
~~~~~~~~~~

**local_mail_aliases** (dictionary, optional, ``[]``)
  Dictionary defining the local aliases. Aliases defined this way will either be
  appended to default aliases on the server, or replace the existing entries (if
  the alias/recipient is already present). Keys in the dictionary are the local
  recipients/aliases, while the value provided should be a space-separated list
  of mail addresses (or local users) where the mails should be forwarded.

**mail_message_size_limit** (integer, optional, ``10240000``)
  Maximum size of message in bytes that the SMTP server should accept
  for incoming mails. If the mail message size exceeds the listed
  value, it will be rejected by the server. The size is also
  advertised as part of SMTP server capabilities (in response to the
  ``ehlo`` SMTP command). Changing the value is primarily useful when
  SMTP from relay is allowed (via the ``smtp_from_relay_allowed``
  parameter), since incoming SMTP communication is otherwise not
  allowed at all.

**smtp_from_relay_allowed** (boolean, optional, ``True``)
  Specify if SMTP traffic from SMTP relay should be allowed or not (for bounced
  messages, for example). This parameter should be set to ``False`` on systems
  behind NAT or on systems that may not have constant network connectivity (such
  as laptops) to avoid firewall failures since SMTP relay name needs to be
  resolvable.

**smtp_relay_host** (string, optional, ``None``)
  SMTP server via which the mails are sent out for non-local recipients.

**smtp_relay_host_port** (integer, optional, ``None``)
  Port to use when connecting to the SMTP relay host.

**smtp_relay_truststore** (string, mandatory)
  X.509 certificate chain used for issuing certificate for the SMTP relay
  service. The file will be stored in location
  ``/etc/ssl/certs/smtp_relay_truststore.pem``

Web Server
----------

The ``web_server`` role can be used for setting-up a web server on destination
machine.

The role is supposed to be very lightweight, providing a basis for deployment of
web applications.

The role implements the following:

* Installs and configures nginx with a single, default vhost with a small static
  index page.
* Deploys the HTTPS TLS private key and certificate (for default vhost).
* Configures TLS versions and ciphers supported by Nginx.
* Uses 2048-bit Diffie-Hellman parameters for relevant TLS ciphers for
  incoming connections.
* Configures firewall to allow incoming connections to the web server.
* Installs and configures virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper as a common base for
  Python apps.
* Installs and configures PHP FPM as a common base for PHP apps.

The web server is configured as follows:

* No plaintext HTTP is allowed, HTTPS is mandatory. Clients connecting
  via plaintext HTTP are redirected to HTTPS.
* Clients are served with ``Strict-Transport-Security`` header with
  value of ``max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains``. This forces
  compliant clients to always connect using HTTPS to the web server
  when accessing its default domain, as well as any subdomains served
  by this web server or any other. The (client-side) cached header
  value expires after one year.


Role dependencies
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Depends on the following roles:

  TLS ciphers to enable on the web server. This should be an OpenSSL-compatible
  cipher specification. Value should be compatible with Nginx configuration
  option ``ssl_ciphers``. Default value allows only TLSv1.2 and strong PFS
  ciphers with RSA private keys.


Distribution compatibility
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Role is compatible with the following distributions:

- Debian 12 (Bookworm)


Examples
~~~~~~~~

Here is an example configuration for setting-up web server:

.. code-block:: yaml

  ---

  default_https_tls_key: "{{ lookup('file', inventory_dir + '/tls/web.example.com_https.key') }}"
  default_https_tls_certificate: "{{ lookup('file', inventory_dir + '/tls/web.example.com_https.pem') }}"

  web_default_title: "Welcome to Example Inc."
  web_default_message: "You are attempting to access the web server using a wrong name or an IP address. Please check your URL."


PHP Website
-----------

The ``php_website`` role can be used for setting-up a website powered by PHP on
destination machine.

This role is normally not supposed to be used directly, but should instead serve
as the basis for writing website-specific roles. Therefore the role is written
in quite generic way, allowing the integrator to write his/her own logic for
deploying the necessary PHP applications, while still reusing a common base and
reducing the workload.

The role implements the following:

* Creates a dedicated user/group for running the PHP scripts.
* Creates a dedicated administrator user for maintaining the website.
* Creates a base directory where the website-specific code and data should be
  stored at.
* Adds nginx to website's group, so nginx could read the necessary files.
* Adds website administrator to website's group, so administrator could manage
  the code and data.
* Installs additional packages required for running the role (as configured).
* Deploys the HTTPS TLS private key and certificate (for website vhost).
* Configures PHP FPM and nginx to serve the website.

The role is implemented with the following layout/logic in mind:

* Clients are served with ``Strict-Transport-Security`` header with
  value of ``max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains``. This forces
  compliant clients to always connect using HTTPS to the web server
  when accessing its domain, as well as any subdomains served
  by this web server or any other. The (client-side) cached header
  value expires after one year.
* Website users are named after the ``FQDN`` (fully qualified domain name) of
  website, in format of ``web-ESCAPEDFQDN``, where ``ESCAPEDFQDN`` is equal to
  ``FQDN`` where dots have been replaced by underscores (for example,
  ``web-cloud_example_com``).
* Website users are set-up via GECOS field to have their umask set to ``0007``
  (in combination with ``pam_umask``).
* Administrator users are named after the ``FQDN`` (fully qualified domain name)
  of website, in format of ``admin-ESCAPEDFQDN``, where ``ESCAPEDFQDN`` is equal
  to ``FQDN`` where dots have been replaced by underscores (for example,
  ``admin-cloud_example_com``).
* All websites reside within a dedicated sub-directory in ``/var/www``. The
  sub-directory name is equal to the ``FQDN`` used for accessing the
  website. Owner of the directory is set to be the application administrator,
  while group is set to be the website group. Additionally, ``SGID`` bit is set
  on the directory. This allows admin, with correct umask, to create necessary
  files and directories that should be readable (and eventually writeable) by
  the website user (running the PHP scripts) without having to become root.
* All files placed in the website directory should be either created there
  directly, or copied to the directory in order to make sure the ``SGID`` gets
  honored. **Do not move the files, the permissions will not be set correctly.**
* Within the website directory, nginx/php5-fpm will expect to find the relevant
  files within the htdocs sub-directory (this can be symlink too).
* nginx communicates with PHP FPM over a dedicated Unix socket for each website.


Role dependencies
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Depends on the following roles:

* **common**
* **web_server**


Parameters
~~~~~~~~~~

**additional_fpm_config** (dict, optional, ``{}``)
  Additional PHP FPM configuration options that should be included for PHP
  website's pool. Keys are parameter names, values are associated values. Don't
  forget to include quotes in the value itself if expected value type is string.

**additional_nginx_config** (list, optional, ``[]``)
  List providing additional Nginx configuration options to include. This can be
  useful for specifying things like error pages. Options are applied inside of a
  **server** context of Nginx configuration file.

  Each item is a dictionary with the following options describing the extra
  configuration option:

  **comment** (string, mandatory)
    Comment describing the configuration option.

  **value** (string, mandatory)
    Configuration option.

**admin_uid** (integer, optional, ``whatever OS picks``)
  UID of the dedicated website administrator user. The user will be member of
  website group.

**deny_files_regex** (list, optional, ``[]``)
  List of regular expressions for matching files/locations to which the web
  server should deny access. This is useful to block access to any sensitive
  files that should not be served directly by the web server. The format must be
  compatible with regular expressions used by ``nginx`` for ``location ~``
  syntax.

**environment_indicator** (dictionary, optional, ``null``)
  Specify configuration for including environment indicator on all
  HTML pages. Indicator is a simple strip at bottom of a page with
  custom background colour, text colour, and text. Indicator can be
  collapsed by clicking on the arrows on the left side of the strip.

  Specifying environment indicator is useful for avoiding mistakes
  when testing by having better visibility what environment you are in
  (production/staging/test).

  The following keys need to be specified:

  **background_colour** (string, mandatory)
    Background colour to use for the strip at bottom. This should be value
    compatible with CSS ``background-color`` attribute.

  **text_colour** (string, mandatory)
    Text colour to use for the strip at bottom. This should be value compatible
    with CSS ``color`` attribute.

  **text** (string, mandatory)
    Text to show in show in the strip at bottom.

**fqdn** (string, mandatory)
  Fully-qualified domain name where the website is reachable. This value is used
  for calculating the user/group name for dedicated website user, as well as
  home directory of the website user (where data/code should be stored at).

**index** (string, optional, ``index.php``)
  Space-separated list of files which should be treated as index files by the
  web server. The web server will attempt opening these index files, in
  succession, until the first match, or until it runs out of matches, when a
  client requests an URI pointing to directory.

**http_header_overrides** (dict, optional, ``{}``)
  HTTP headers to set/override on the incoming request before passing
  it on to the PHP application. Keys are HTTP header names, values are
  header values.

  .. note::
     Role takes care of prefixing the headers with ``HTTP_``,
     converting them to upper-case, and replacing dashes with
     underscores - simply pass in the official HTTP header name, no
     extra precautions are required for PHP specifics.

  Double quotes in the value must be escaped with a backslash. Make
  sure to take into account the YAML escaping as well. For example, to
  set the value to ``this is quote - "``, YAML should look like one of
  the following:

  - ``this is double quote - "``
  - ``'this is double quote - \"'``
  - ``"this is double quote - \\\"'``

  To clear a header value, simply set its value to an empty
  string. Nginx variables can be used as well, however keep in mind
  that the dollar sign (``$``) *cannot* be used/escaped due to Nginx
  configuration file syntax limitations.

**https_tls_certificate** (string, mandatory)
  X.509 certificate used for TLS for HTTPS service. The file will be stored in
  directory ``/etc/ssl/certs/`` under name ``{{ fqdn }}_https.pem``.

**https_tls_key** (string, optional, mandatory)
  Private key used for TLS for HTTPS service. The file will be stored in
  directory ``/etc/ssl/private/`` under name ``{{ fqdn }}_https.key``.

**php_file_regex** (string, optional, ``\.php$``)
  Regular expression used for determining which file should be interepted via
  PHP.

**php_rewrite_urls** (list, optional, ``[]``)
  A list of rewrite rules that are applied to incoming requests. These rewrite
  rules are specifically targetted at prettying-up the URLs used by the PHP
  scripts. Each element of the list should be a string value compatible with the
  format of ``nginx`` option ``rewrite``. The keyword ``rewrite`` itself should
  be omitted, as well as trailing semi-colon (``;``).

**rewrites** (list, optional, ``[]``)
  A list of rewrite rules that are applied to incoming requests. Each element of
  the list should be a string value compatible with the format of ``nginx``
  option ``rewrite``. The keyword ``rewrite`` itself should be omitted, as well
  as trailing semi-colon (``;``).

**packages** (list, optional, ``[]``)
  A list of additional packages to install for this particular PHP
  appliction. This is usually going to be different PHP extensions.

**uid** (integer, optional, ``whatever OS picks``)
  UID/GID (they are set-up to be the same) of the dedicated website
  user/group.

**website_mail_recipients** (string, optional, ``root``)
  Space-separated list of e-mails or local users to which the mails, sent to
  either the website admin or website user, should be forwarded to. Forwarding
  is configured via ``~/.forward`` configuration file.

      https_tls_certificate: "{{ lookup('file', inventory_dir + '/tls/tbg.example.com_https.pem') }}"


WSGI Website
------------

The ``wsgi_website`` role can be used for setting-up a website powered by Python
on destination machine. The website needs to use the WSGI specification for
making the Python web application(s) available.

This role is normally not supposed to be used directly, but should instead serve
as the basis for writing website-specific roles. Therefore the role is written
in quite generic way, allowing the integrator to write his/her own logic for
deploying the necessary Python applications/packages, while still reusing a
common base and reducing the workload.

The role implements the following:

* Creates a dedicated user/group for running the WSGI application.
* Creates a dedicated administrator user for maintaining the website.
* Creates a base directory where the website-specific code and data should be
  stored at.
* Adds nginx to website's group, so nginx could read the necessary files.
* Adds website administrator to website's group, so administrator could manage
  the code and data.
* Installs additional packages required for running the role (as configured).
* Sets-up a dedicated Python virtual environment for website.
* Install Gunicorn in Python virtual environment.
* Installs additional packages required for running the role in Python virtual
  environment (as configured).
* Configures systemd to run the website code (using Gunicorn)
* Deploys the HTTPS TLS private key and certificate (for website vhost).
* Configures nginx to serve the website (static files served directly, requests
  passed on to Gunicorn).

The role is implemented with the following layout/logic in mind:

* No plaintext HTTP is allowed, HTTPS is mandatory. Clients connecting
  via plaintext HTTP are redirected to HTTPS.
* Clients are served with ``Strict-Transport-Security`` header with
  value of ``max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains``. This forces
  compliant clients to always connect using HTTPS to the web server
  when accessing its domain, as well as any subdomains served
  by this web server or any other. The (client-side) cached header
  value expires after one year.
* Website users are named after the ``FQDN`` (fully qualified domain name) of
  website, in format of ``web-ESCAPEDFQDN``, where ``ESCAPEDFQDN`` is equal to
  ``FQDN`` where dots have been replaced by underscores (for example,
  ``web-wiki_example_com``).
* Website users are set-up via GECOS field to have their umask set to ``0007``
  (in combination with ``pam_umask``).
* Administrator users are named after the ``FQDN`` (fully qualified domain name)
  of website, in format of ``admin-ESCAPEDFQDN``, where ``ESCAPEDFQDN`` is equal
  to ``FQDN`` where dots have been replaced by underscores (for example,
  ``admin-cloud_example_com``).
* All websites reside within a dedicated sub-directory in ``/var/www``. The
  sub-directory name is equal to the ``FQDN`` used for accessing the
  website. Owner of the directory is set to be the application administrator,
  while group is set to be the website group. Additionally, ``SGID`` bit is set
  on the directory. This allows admin, with correct umask, to create necessary
  files and directories that should be readable (and eventually writeable) by
  the website user (running the WSGI application) without having to become root.
* All files placed in the website directory should be either created there
  directly, or copied to the directory in order to make sure the ``SGID`` gets
  honored. **Do not move the files, the permissions will not be set correctly.**
* Within the website directory, Python virtual environment can be found within
  the ``virtualenv`` sub-directory. Switching to administrator user via login
  shell will automatically activate the virtual environment.
* Within the website directory, nginx will expect to find the static files
  within the ``htdocs`` sub-directory (this can be symlink too). Locations/aliases
  can be configured for static file serving.
* Within the website directory, systemd service will expect to find the website
  code within the ``code`` sub-directory (this can be symlink too).
* nginx communicates with WSGI server over a dedicated Unix socket for each
  website.

Depends on the following roles:

* **common**
* **web_server**


Parameters
~~~~~~~~~~

**additional_nginx_config** (list, optional, ``[]``)
  List providing additional Nginx configuration options to include. This can be
  useful for specifying things like error pages. Options are applied inside of a
  **server** context of Nginx configuration file.

  Each item is a dictionary with the following options describing the extra
  configuration option:

  **comment** (string, mandatory)
    Comment describing the configuration option.

  **value** (string, mandatory)
    Configuration option.

**admin_uid** (integer, optional, ``whatever OS picks``)
  UID of the dedicated website administrator user. The user will be member of

    Text colour to use for the strip at bottom. This should be value compatible
    with CSS ``color`` attribute.

  **text** (string, mandatory)
    Text to show in show in the strip at bottom.

**environment_variables** (dict, optional, ``{}``)
  Specify additional environment variables that should be set for running the
  service. Environment variables will be set in both the systemd service and for
  the application's administrator user (when logged in as one).

**fqdn** (string, mandatory)
  Fully-qualified domain name where the website is reachable. This value is used
  for calculating the user/group name for dedicated website user, as well as
  home directory of the website user (where data/code should be stored at).

**https_tls_certificate** (string, mandatory)
  X.509 certificate used for TLS for HTTPS service. The file will be stored in
  directory ``/etc/ssl/certs/`` under name ``{{ fqdn }}_https.pem``.

**https_tls_key** (string, mandatory)
  Private key used for TLS for HTTPS service. The file will be stored in
  directory ``/etc/ssl/private/`` under name ``{{ fqdn }}_https.key``.

**packages** (list, optional, ``[]``)
  A list of additional packages to install for this particular WSGI
  website. This is usually going to be development libraries for building Python
  packages.

**http_header_overrides** (dict, optional, ``{}``)
  HTTP headers to set/override on the incoming request before passing
  it on to the WSGI application. Keys are HTTP header names, values are
  header values.

  Double quotes in the value must be escaped with a backslash. Make
  sure to take into account the YAML escaping as well. For example, to
  set the value to ``this is quote - "``, YAML should look like one of
  the following:

  - ``this is double quote - "``
  - ``'this is double quote - \"'``
  - ``"this is double quote - \\\"'``

  To clear a header value, simply set its value to an empty
  string. Nginx variables can be used as well, however keep in mind
  that the dollar sign (``$``) *cannot* be used/escaped due to Nginx
  configuration file syntax limitations.

**rewrites** (list, optional, ``[]``)
  A list of rewrite rules that are applied to incoming requests. Each element of
  the list should be a string value compatible with the format of ``nginx``
  option ``rewrite``. The keyword ``rewrite`` itself should be omitted, as well
  as trailing semi-colon (``;``).

**static_locations** (list, optional, ``[]``)
  List of locations that should be treated as static-only, and not processed by
  the WSGI application at all. This is normally used for designating serving of
  static/media files by Nginx (for example, in case of Django projects for
  ``/static/`` and ``/media/``).

**uid** (integer, optional, ``whatever OS picks``)
  UID/GID (they are set-up to be the same) of the dedicated website
  user/group.

**use_paste** (boolean, optional, ``False``)
  Tell Gunicorn to assume that the passed-in ``wsgi_application`` value is a
  filename of a Python Paste ``ini`` file instead of WSGI application.

**virtuaelnv_packages** (list, optional, ``[]``)
  A list of additional packages to install for this particular WSGI appliction
  in its virtual environment using ``pip``.

**website_mail_recipients** (string, optional, ``root``)
  Space-separated list of e-mails or local users to which the mails, sent to
  either the website admin or website user, should be forwarded to. Forwarding
  is configured via ``~/.forward`` configuration file.

**wsgi_application** (string, mandatory)
  WSGI application that should be started by Gunicorn. The format should be
  conformant to what the ``gunicorn`` command-line tool accepts. If the
  ``use_paste`` option is enabled, the value should be equal to filename of the
  Python Paste ini file, located in the ``code`` sub-directory. It should be
  noted that in either case the value should be specsified relative to the
  ``code`` sub-directory. I.e. don't use full paths.

**wsgi_requirements** (list, optional, ``[ gunicorn==21.2.0, packaging==23.2 ]``)
  Complete list of pip requirements used for deploying Gunicorn. If
  specified, this list will be used to create requirements file and
  install Gunicorn and its dependencies from that one. This allows to
  have pinned packages for both Gunicorn and its dependencies.

  It should be noted that this installation method is meant primarily in case of
  roles that want to take advantage of upgrade checks for pip requirements
  files, and that employ `pip-tools <https://github.com/jazzband/pip-tools>`_.

  In addition to change of installation method, when this parameter is
  specified the role will deploy necessary files for running the pip
  requirements upgrade check (see the ``common`` role for
  description). For this a directory is created under
  ``/etc/pip_check_requirements_upgrades/FQDN``. The same directory
  should be used by dependant roles to deploy their own ``.in`` and
  ``.txt`` files. Make sure the file ownership is set to
  ``root:pipreqcheck``.

  Should you need to utilise the requirements file in some manner (other than
  checking for its upgrades), it will be also stored (and made accessible to
  application user/admin)) in application's home directory under the name
  ``.wsgi_requirements.txt``.

  To create complete requirements list, it is recommended to use `pip-tools
  <https://github.com/jazzband/pip-tools>`_ (the ``pip-compile`` utility) with
  ``gunicorn`` and ``futures`` in the ``.in.`` file.

**wsgi_requirements_in** (list, optional, ``[ gunicorn ]``)
  List of top level packages to use when performing the pip
  requirements upgrade checks for the Gunicorn requirements (listed
  via ``wsgi_requirements`` parameter).

Backup Server
-------------

The ``backup_server`` role can be used for setting-up a server to act as backup
storage for the backup clients. Storage is made available to the clients
exclusively via SFTP on a dedicated port and dedicated OpenSSH server
instance. This instance is specifically configured and tailored for this
purpose.

The role is primarily aimed for use with `Duplicity
<http://duplicity.nongnu.org/>`_, but should be also usable for generic SFTP
uploads.

The role implements the following:

* Installs backup software (Duplicity, Duply).
* Creates a dedicated directory structure for backups with the following structure:

  * ``/srv/backups/`` - main directory under which all the backups reside.
  * ``/srv/backups/SERVER_NAME/`` - home directory for the backup user, name
    after the server. Backup users are confined to their respective home
    directory via chroot. Backup users can't write to their own home directory,
    though.
  * ``/srv/backups/SERVER_NAME/duplicity/`` - directory where the Duplicity
    backups are stored at. This directory is writable by the respective backup
    user.
  * ``SERVER_NAME/.ssh/`` - directory where authorized keys are stored. Backup
    user is not allowed to make modifications to this directory and files
    contained within (i.e. backup users can't add more keys to the
    ``authorized_keys`` file).
* Creates dedicated operating system users for backup clients. These users will
  be made members of the ``backup`` group as well (as an additional group).
* Sets-up ``authorized_keys`` for the backup clients.
* Makes sure the backup users can't log-in via regular OpenSSH server instance.
* Sets-up dedicated OpenSSH server instances to be used exclusively by backup
  clients. The instance listens on TCP port ``2222``.
* Updates firewall to allow incoming TCP connections to port
  ``2222``. Connections are allowed only from the configured IP addresses
  associated with backup clients.


Role dependencies
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Depends on the following roles:

* **common**


Parameters
~~~~~~~~~~

**backup_clients** (list, optional)
  List of backup clients that are connecting to the backup server. This is
  usually done on a per-server basis. Each item in the list is a dictionary
  describing the backup client. The following keys are available:

  **server** (string, mandatory)
    Name of the server that is backed up. It is highly recommended to use
    server's FQDN for this purpose. The dedicated operating system user created
    will have the name of format ``bak-ESCAPED_SERVER_NAME``, where
    ``ESCAPED_SERVER_NAME`` is calculated by taking the passed-in server name
    and replacing all dots (``.``) with undescores (``_``). For example,
    ``web.example.com`` will be turned into ``bak-web_example_com``.

  **uid** (integer, optional, ``whatever OS picks``)
    Uid for the operating system user. User's default group will have a GID
    identical to the user's UID if specified. Otherwise user's default group
    will have OS-determined GID.

  **ip** (IPv4 address, mandatory)
    IPv4 address from which the backup client server is connecting to the backup
    server. Used for introducing stricter firewall rules.

  **public_key** (string, mandatory)
    SSH public key used by backup client to connect to the backup server.

**backup_host_ssh_private_keys** (dictionary, mandatory)
  Defines host keys used for the dedicated OpenSSH server instance for
  backup. Key values that must be provided are:

  - **rsa**
  - **ed25519**
  - **ecdsa**

  Values for each key should be the corresponding private key
  generated using the appropriate algorithm. Keys for this purpose can
  be easily created via commands::

    ssh-keygen -f backup_server_rsa_key -N '' -t rsa
    ssh-keygen -f backup_server_ed25519_key -N '' -t ed25519
    ssh-keygen -f backup_server_ecdsa_key -N '' -t ecdsa


Distribution compatibility
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Role is compatible with the following distributions:

- Debian 12 (Bookworm)


Examples
~~~~~~~~

Here is an example configuration for setting-up the backup server role:

.. code-block:: yaml

  - role: backup_server
    backup_clients:
      - server: web.example.com
        uid: 3000
        public_key: "{{ lookup('file', inventory_dir + '/ssh/web.example.com.pub') }}"
        ip: 10.32.64.18
      - server: mail.example.com
        public_key: "{{ lookup('file', inventory_dir + '/ssh/mail.example.com.pub') }}"
        ip: 10.32.64.15
    backup_host_ssh_private_keys:
      rsa: "{{ lookup('file', inventory_dir + '/ssh/backup_server_rsa_key') }}"
      ed25519: "{{ lookup('file', inventory_dir + '/ssh/backup_server_ed25519_key') }}"
      ecdsa: "{{ lookup('file', inventory_dir + '/ssh/backup_server_ecdsa_key') }}"


Backup Client
-------------

The ``backup_client`` role can be used for setting-up the server as a backup
client so it can perform backups to the backup server.

Backup clients utilise duplicity (via the duply convenience wrapper) for
performing the backups to a backup server via *SFTP* protocol.

The role itself will take care of deploying the necessary software,
configuration files, and encryption/signing private key to the backup client in
order to be able to perform backup.

Files that should be backed-up are specified using the ``backup`` role.

The role implements the following:

* Installs backup software (Duplicity, Duply).
* Sets-up Duply configuration under directory ``/etc/duply/main/``.
* Deploys encryption/signing private key (usually host-specific), as well as
  additional encryption public keys to the server, and imports them into local
  GnuPG keyring used by backup software.
* Deploys private SSH key for logging-in into the backup server over SFTP.
* Deploys ``known_hosts`` file for SFTP fingerprint verification.
* Sets-up a handler that runs scripts/binaries before the actual backup
  run. This is helpful for producing database backups. Such scripts/binaries
  should be deployed to directory ``/etc/duply/main/pre.d/``, and marked
  executable by the root user.

Duply is configured as follows:

* GnuPG keyring is stored under ``/etc/duply/main/gnupg/``. The keyring should
  not be managed manually.
* SSH private key for logging-in into backup server is stored in location
  ``/etc/duply/main/ssh/identity``. Backup server SFTP fingerprint is stored in
  location ``/etc/duply/main/ssh/known_hosts``.
* Base directory for back-ups is root (``/``), but *all* files are excluded by
  default to prevent huge back-ups. Ansible roles that want to utilise the
  backup client role can specify which patterns should be included in the backup
  when including the ``backup`` role. Include pattern file is assembled and
  stored in location ``/etc/duply/main/include``.
* Backups are encrypted and signed with the specified encryption key.
* Maximum age for old backups is set to 6 months.
* Maximum age for full backups is set to 1 month.
* Volume size is set to 1GB.
* Pre-backup scripts are run via ``/etc/duply/main/pre`` handler that tries to
  execute scripts/binaries from directory ``/etc/duply/main/pre.d/``.
* Pre-backup scripts must run successfully for the actual backup
  process to proceed.
* Old backups are automatically purged in case of successful run.

.. note::
   Since at time of this writing there are no lookup plugins for extracting key
   material/information from GnuPG keyring, you may want to resort to extraction
   of keys on the controller machine via lookups similar to::

     lookup('pipe', 'gpg2 --homedir /path/to/your/keyring --armor --export some_identifier')
     lookup('pipe', 'gpg2 --homedir /path/to/your/keyring --armor --export-secret-keys some_identifier')

   This may not be the most elegant solution, but for now it offers better
   flexibility (theoretically, you could store all those keys etc as plaintext
   files instead).


Parameters
~~~~~~~~~~

**backup_additional_encryption_keys** (list, optional, ``[]``)
  List of additional public encryption keys used for backup operation. Each item
  in the list should be an ASCII armour-encoded public key exported from a GnuPG
  keyring. These additional public keys are useful in cases where the backups
  should be decryptable with some master key in addition to server-specific key.

**backup_client_username** (string, optional, ``bak-{{ ansible_fqdn | replace('.', '_') }}``)
  Username for connecting to the backup server via SFTP.

**backup_encryption_key** (string, mandatory)
  Private GnuPG key, encoded using ASCII armor, used for encryption and signing
  operations when running the backup on the client server. This *must* be a
  private key! This is normally host-specific encryption key that is distributed
  to destination server and that can be also used for the restore operations
  (for data decryption). The key must not be password-protected.

**backup_server** (string, mandatory)
  Backup server to connect to.

**backup_server_destination** (string, optional, ``/duplicity``)
  Target directory on the backup server where the backups are stored.

**backup_server_host_ssh_public_keys** (list, mandatory)
  SSH public keys presented by the server during client authentication. These
  public keys are used for populating the known hosts on the backup client side
  for host verification purposes.

**backup_server_port** (int, optional, ``2222``)
  Port on the backup server to connect to for accessing the SFTP service.

**backup_ssh_key** (string, mandatory)
  SSH private key for logging-in into the backup server.

    backup_server_host_ssh_public_keys:
      - "{{ lookup('file', inventory_dir + '/ssh/backup_server_ecdsa_key.pub') }}"
      - "{{ lookup('file', inventory_dir + '/ssh/backup_server_ed25519_key.pub') }}"
      - "{{ lookup('file', inventory_dir + '/ssh/backup_server_rsa_key.pub') }}"
    backup_server_port: 22
    backup_ssh_key: "{{ lookup('file', inventory_dir + '/ssh/web.example.com') }}"


Backup
------

The ``backup`` role can be used to specify what files should be backed-up to the
backup server.

The role provides a convenient way to deploy a file containing file and
directory patterns describing the file/directory paths that should be included
in the back-up.

The role implements the following:

* Installs a file with provided patterns in directory
  ``/etc/duply/main/patterns/``.
* Assembles/refresshes the main include pattern file at
  ``/etc/duply/main/include``.


Role dependencies
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Depends on the following roles:

* **backup_client**


Parameters
~~~~~~~~~~

**backup_patterns_filename** (string, mandatory)
  Name of the backup patterns file. The file is stored in directory
  ``/etc/duply/main/patterns/``. This should be a unique filename amongst all
  roles. If role can be included multiple times, make sure the filename is
  always unique when depending on the backup role.

**backup_patterns** (list, optional, ``[]``)
  List of globbing patterns defining which files or directories should be
  backed-up.
