* my personal notes for deploying
** setup
- create a file in ~inventory~ called ~hosts~
#+BEGIN_SRC text
[matrix_servers]
matrix.awful.club
#+END_SRC
- make sure you have the proper gpg key on your file system ( since we are using the "open the vault" method of protecting our passwords here)
- Make sure you've got the posix ansible collection installed: ~ansible-galaxy collection install ansible.posix~
** updating ansible roles
TLDR: when updating the playbook and before running it, you'll need to run make roles to make ansible-galaxy download dependency roles (see the requirements.yml file) to the roles/galaxy directory. Without this, the playbook won't work.
** common scripts:
~ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/setup.yml --tags=setup-all,start~
- this will upgrade your configured matrix things.
** rekeying the gpg thing
- make sure you know the ansible vault password
- encrypt the ansible-vault password with your new gpg key
- name that new file "vault_passphrase.gpg"
- there u go
** pulling in changes from upstream remote
first make sure you've got the remote configured:
- ~git remote add upstream git://theurl~
- ~git fetch upstream~
now you can merge in changes:
- ~git checkout main~
- ~git merge upstream/main~
