my personal notes for deploying

setup

  • create a file in inventory called hosts
[matrix_servers]
matrix.awful.club
  • 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
