Role Reference
==============
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, optional, ``{{ lookup('file', '~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub') }}``)
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 Jessie does not allow password-based logins for root.
**preseed_country** (string, optional, ``SE``)
Country.
**preseed_directory** (string, optional, ``../preseed_files/``)
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.
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: /root/ansible/private.key
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``.
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.
* Installs additional base packages, as configured.
* 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
``/etc/ssl/certs/``.
* 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.
Parameters
~~~~~~~~~~
**apt_proxy** (string, optional, ``None``)
URI of a caching proxy that should be used when retrieving the packages via
apt.
**os_users** (list, optional, ``[]``)
A list of operating system users that should be set-up on a server. Each item
is a dictionary with the following options describing the user parameters:
**name** (string, mandatory)
Name of the operating system user that should be created. User's default
group will have the same name as the user.
**uid** (number, 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.
**additional_groups** (list, optional, ``[]``)
Comma-separated list of additional groups that a user should belong to.
**authorized_keys** (list, optional, ``[]``)
List of SSH public keys that should be deployed to user's authorized_keys
truststore.
**password** (string, optional, ``!`` - no password)
Encrypted password that should be set for the user.
**os_groups** (list, optional, ``[]``)
A list of operating system groups that should be set-up on a server. Each item
is a dictionary with the following options describing the group parameters:
**name** (string, mandatory)
Name of the operating system group that should be created.
**gid** (number, optional, ``whatever OS picks``)
GID for the operating system group.
**common_packages** (list, optional, ``[]``)
List of additional operating system packages that should be installed on the
server. Each element of the list should be a simple string denoting the name
of the package.
**ca_certificates** (list, optional, ``[]``)
List of additional CA certificate files that should be deployed on the
server. Each element of the list should be a filepath to a CA certificate file
on originating (Ansible) host that should be copied to destination
server.
**incoming_connection_limit** (string, optional, ``3/second``)
Rate at which the incoming ICMP echo-request packages and new TCP connections
will be accepted at. The value should be specified in the same format as value
for the ``iptables hashlimit`` option ``--hashlimit-upto``.

transformed into ``dc=example,dc=com``.
**organization** (string, mandatory)
Organization that should be specified in the base DN entry.
**log_level** (string, mandatory)
Log level to use for the server. This should be compatible with OpenLDAP
configuration option ``olcLogLevel``. See `OpenLDAP Administrator's Guide

connections. This applies for both remote and local connections.
**ldap_permissions** (list, mandatory)
List of LDAP access controls to apply to directories served by the LDAP
server. Each item is a dictionary with the following options describing the
permissions:
**filter** (string, mandatory)
An LDAP filter that should be applied on base DN ``cn=config`` using
sub-tree scope to locate the LDAP database for which the access control
rules will be applied. For default user database this could be something in
the lines of ``(olcSuffix=dc=example,dc=com)``.
**rules** (list, mandatory)
A list of access control rules that should be applied for the selected
database. The access control rules listed will *replace* all existing
rules, and will be added in the same order they are listed in. Each item is
a string that constitutes a single access control rule. The format should be
the same as described in `OpenLDAP Administrator's Guide
<http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/access-control.html#Access%20Control%20via%20Dynamic%20Configuration>`.
**ldap_entries** (list, mandatory)
List of entries that should be kept in the LDAP directory. Each item is a
dictionary describing a single LDAP entry, with all of its attributes
listed. The keys in this dictionary should be the attribute names. The values
should be either strings, for setting a single attribute value, or a list of
strings if it is necessary to set multiple values for the same attribute.

Mail Server
-----------
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).
* 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 25 (alternate SMTP
to work around common network 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.
* RBL's are used for combating spam (if any is specified in configuration, see
below).
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_ROOT_DN``.
* Dovecot will log-in to LDAP as user
``cn=dovecot,ou=services,MAIL_LDAP_ROOT_DN``.
* Domain entries need to be available as
``dc=DOMAIN,ou=domains,ou=mail,ou=services,MAIL_LDAP_ROOT_DN``.
* Alias entries need to be available as
``cn=ALIAS,ou=aliases,ou=mail,ou=services,MAIL_LDAP_ROOT_DN``.
* User entries are read from sub-tree (first-level only)
``ou=people,MAIL_LDAP_ROOT_DN``. Query filter used for finding users is
``(&(mail=%s)(memberOf=cn=mail,ou=groups,MAIL_LDAP_ROOT_DN))``. This allows
group-based granting of mail services to users.

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).
Postfix is configured as follows:

* TLS is enforced for relaying mails, with configurable truststore for server
certificate verification.
Parameters
~~~~~~~~~~
**local_mail_aliases** (dictionary, mandatory)
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.
**smtp_relay_host** (string, mandatory)
SMTP server via which the mails are sent out for non-local recipients.
**smtp_relay_truststore** (string, mandatory)
Path to the file containing full X.509 CA certificate chain used for

# well.
local_mail_aliases:
root: "root john.doe@example.com"
smtp_relay_host: mail.example.com
smtp_relay_truststore: /etc/ssl/certs/example_ca_chain.pem
Web Server

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 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.
Parameters
~~~~~~~~~~
**https_tls_key** (string, mandatory)
Path to file on Ansible host that contains the private key used for TLS for
HTTPS service. The file will be copied to directory ``/etc/ssl/private/``.
**https_tls_certificate** (string, mandatory)
Path to file on Ansible host that contains the X.509 certificate used for TLS
for HTTPS service. The file will be copied to directory ``/etc/ssl/certs/``.
**web_default_title** (string, mandatory)
Title for the default web page shown to users (if no other vhosts were matched).
**web_default_message** (string, mandatory)
Message for the default web page shown to users (if no other vhosts were
matched).
Examples
~~~~~~~~
Here is an example configuration for setting-up web server:
.. code-block:: yaml
---
https_tls_key: "{{ inventory_dir }}/tls/web.example.com_https.key"
https_tls_certificate: "{{ 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 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:
* 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``).
* 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.
Parameters
~~~~~~~~~~
**admin** (string, mandatory)
Name of the operating system user in charge of maintaining the website. This
user is capable of making modifications to website configuration anda data
stored within the website directory.
**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.
**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)
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. Default is ``index.php``.
**https_tls_certificate** (string, mandatory)
Path to file on Ansible host that contains the X.509 certificate used for TLS
for HTTPS service. The file will be copied to directory ``/etc/ssl/certs/``.
**https_tls_key** (string, mandatory)
Path to file on Ansible host that contains the private key used for TLS for
HTTPS service. The file will be copied to directory ``/etc/ssl/private/``.
**php_file_regex** (string, optional)
Regular expression used for determining which file should be interepted via
PHP. Default is ``\.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, mandatory)
UID/GID (they are set-up to be the same) of the dedicated website
user/group.
Examples
~~~~~~~~
Here is an example configuration for setting-up two (base) PHP websites (for
running *ownCloud* and *The Bug Genie* applications):

https_tls_certificate: "{{ 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 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:
* 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``).
* 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. The virtual environment is also symlinked to
website admin's ``~/.virtualenvs/`` directory for easier access (and
auto-completion with virtualenvwrapper).
* 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.
Parameters
~~~~~~~~~~
**admin** (string, mandatory)
Name of the operating system user in charge of maintaining the website. This
user is capable of making modifications to website configuration anda data
stored within the website directory.
**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)
Path to file on Ansible host that contains the X.509 certificate used for TLS
for HTTPS service. The file will be copied to directory ``/etc/ssl/certs/``.
**https_tls_key** (string, mandatory)
Path to file on Ansible host that contains the private key used for TLS for
HTTPS service. The file will be copied to directory ``/etc/ssl/private/``.
**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.
**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, mandatory)
UID/GID (they are set-up to be the same) of the dedicated website
user/group.
**use_paste** (boolean, optional)
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 PHP
appliction. This is usually going to be different PHP extensions.
**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.
Examples
~~~~~~~~
Here is an example configuration for setting-up a (base) WSGI website (for
running a bare Django project):
.. code-block:: yaml
- role: wsgi_website
admin: admin
fqdn: django.example.com
static_locations:
- /static
- /media
uid: 2004
virtualenv_packages:
- django
wsgi_application: django_example_com.wsgi:application
https_tls_key: "{{ inventory_dir }}/tls/wsgi.example.com_https.key"
https_tls_certificate: "{{ inventory_dir }}/tls/wsgi.example.com_https.pem"
Database Server
---------------
The ``database_server`` role can be used for setting-up a MariaDB database
server on destination machine.
The role implements the following:
* Installs MariaDB server and client.
* Configures MariaDB server and client to use *UTF-8* encoding by default.
* Sets password for the database root user.
* Deploys MariaDB client configuration in location ``/root/.my.cnf`` that
contains username and password for the root database user.
Parameters
~~~~~~~~~~
**db_root_password** (string, mandatory)
Password for the *root* database user.
Examples
~~~~~~~~
Here is an example configuration for setting-up the database server:

db_root_password: root
Database
--------
The ``database`` role can be used for creating a MariaDB database and
accompanying user on destination machine.
The role implements the following:
* Creates MariaDB database.
* Creates a dedicated user capable of performing any operation on the created
database. Username is set to be same as the name of database.
Parameters
~~~~~~~~~~
**db_name** (string, mandatory)
Name of the database that should be created.
**db_password** (string, mandatory)
Password for the database user.
Examples
