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.
 

	
 

	
 
Parameters
 
~~~~~~~~~~
 

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

	
 

	
 
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.
