Test Site
=========

*Majic Ansible Roles* comes with a small sample test site configuration which
demonstrates use of every role. This test site also serves as starting point for
developing new roles etc, and can be used for testing regressions/breakages.

The test site covers everything, starting from generating the Debian preseed
files, through bootstrap process for new nodes, and onto deployment of all
remaining roles.

By default, the test site uses domain ``example.com``, but it has been designed
so it is easy to set your own domain (see below in step-by-step
instructions). Some changes may be necessary to listed commands in that case
(i.e. replace every occurance of ``example.com`` with your own domain).

All example commands listed within this section should be ran from within the
``testsite`` directory in order to have proper environment available for
playbook runs.

A number of playbooks is provided out of the box:

bootstrap.yml (for bootstrapping fresh nodes)
  This playbook can be used for bootstrapping fresh nodes. By default, the
  entire test site will be included in the bootstrap. If you wish to limit
  bootstrap to a single server, just run the playbook with (for example):

  .. code-block:: shell

    ansible-playbook -l ldap.example.com playbooks/bootstrap.yml

ldap.yml
  This playbook sets-up the LDAP servers. It is included in ``site.yml``.

mail.yml
  This playbook sets-up the mail server. It is included in ``site.yml``.

preseed.yml
  This playbook sets-up the Debian preseed files. It is included in
  ``site.yml``.

site.yml
  This playbook sets-up all servers, including preseed files on local host.

web.yml
  This playbook sets-up the web server. It is included in ``site.yml``.

xmpp.yml
  This playbook sets-up the XMPP server. It is included in ``site.yml``.

In order to deploy the test site, the following steps would normally be taken:

1. As mentioned in introduction, default domain used by test site is
   ``example.com``. To change it, perform the following steps (otherwise, just
   skip to step 2):

   a. Update the file ``hosts``. Simply replace all occurances of
      ``example.com`` with your chosen domain.
   b. Update the file ``group_vars/all.yml``, changing the value of variable
      ``testsite_domain``. This value will then be used to calculate some of
      derived values, like LDAP base DN (which will be set to something along
      the lines of ``dc=example,dc=com`` or
      ``dc=your,dc=domain,dc=components``).

2. If you do not wish to have the hassle of creating the private keys and
   issuing certificates, there is a small playbook that can help you with
   this. Just run the ``tls.yml`` playbook, and skip to step 6 (otherwise follow
   steps 3 through 5):

   .. code-block:: shell

     ansible-playbook playbooks/tls.yml

3. Create TLS private keys (relative to top level directory), making sure to
   change domain in filenames if necessary:

   - ``testsite/tls/mail.example.com_imap.key``
   - ``testsite/tls/mail.example.com_smtp.key``
   - ``testsite/tls/xmpp.example.com_xmpp.key``
   - ``testsite/tls/ldap.example.com_ldap.key``
   - ``testsite/tls/web.example.com_https.key``
   - ``testsite/tls/phpfino.example.com_https.key``
   - ``testsite/tls/wsgi.example.com_https.key``

4. Issue TLS certificates corresponding to the generated TLS private keys
   (correct FQDN for DNS subject alternative name **must** be used), making sure
   to change domain in filenames if necessary:

   - ``testsite/tls/mail.example.com_imap.pem`` (subject alternative name should
     be ``mail.example.com``)
   - ``testsite/tls/mail.example.com_smtp.pem`` (subject alternative name should
     be ``mail.example.com``)
   - ``testsite/tls/xmpp.example.com_xmpp.pem`` (subject alternative name should
     be ``xmpp.example.com``)
   - ``testsite/tls/ldap.example.com_ldap.pem`` (subject alternative name should
     be ``ldap.example.com``)
   - ``testsite/tls/web.example.com_https.pem`` (subject alternative name should
     be ``web.example.com``)
   - ``testsite/tls/web.example.com_https.pem`` (subject alternative name should
     be ``web.example.com``)
   - ``testsite/tls/phpinfo.example.com_https.pem`` (subject alternative name
     should be ``phpinfo.example.com``)
   - ``testsite/tls/wsgi.example.com_https.pem`` (subject alternative name
     should be ``wsgi.example.com``)

5. Create ``PEM`` truststore file which contains all CA certificates that form
   CA chain for the issued end entity certificates from previous step at
   location ``testsite/tls/ca.pem``. It is very important to
   include the full CA chain used for LDAP server.

6. Generate the preseed files:

  .. code-block:: shell

    ansible-playbook playbooks/preseed.yml

7. Install all servers using the generated preseed files.

8. Add the SSH host fingerprints to your ``known_hosts`` file (don't forget to
   remove old entries if you are redoing the process). You can easily obtain all
   the necessary fingerprints with command (don't forget to modify domain if you
   need to):

   .. code-block:: shell

      ssh-keyscan mail.example.com ldap.example.com xmpp.example.com web.example.com $(resolveip -s mail.example.com) $(resolveip -s ldap.example.com) $(resolveip -s xmpp.example.com) $(resolveip -s web.example.com)

9. Invoke the ``bootstrap.yml`` playbook in order to set-up some basic
   environment for Ansible runs on all servers:

  .. code-block:: shell

    ansible-playbook playbooks/bootstrap.yml

10. Finally, apply configuration on all servers:

  .. code-block:: shell

    ansible-playbook playbooks/site.yml

The playbooks and configurations for test site make a couple of assumptions:

* Each server will be set-up with an operating system user ``admin``, capable of
  running the sudo commands.
* The password for operating system user ``admin`` is hard-coded to ``admin``.
* An SSH ``authorized_keys`` file is set-up for the operating system user
  ``admin``. The SSH key stored in it will be read from location
  ``~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub`` (i.e. from home directory of user running the Ansible
  commands).

For more details on how the playbooks and configuration have been implemented,
feel free to browse the test site files (in directory ``testsite``).
