This repo contains helpful Ansible scripts for maintaining the bnewbold's servers and infrastructure. Be sure to keep things compatible with ansible 1.7.2 (the version in Debian jessie). Check out `NOW_WHAT.md` for next steps after creating a server with these scripts. Vault: export ANSIBLE_VAULT_PASSWORD_FILE=vault_pass.txt http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/playbooks_vault.html Example playbook call: ansible-playbook -i hosts playbooks/init_adze.yml --vault-password-file=vault_pass.txt Run a single role (helpful for dev): ansible-playbook -i hosts playbooks/init_adze.yml --vault-password-file=vault_pass.txt -t nginx ===== IRC Setup How to set up the IRC password hash… # znc --makepass [ ** ] Type your new password. [ ?? ] Enter Password: foo [ ?? ] Confirm Password: foo [ ** ] Kill ZNC process, if it's running. [ ** ] Then replace password in the section of your config with this: Method = sha256 Hash = 310c5f99825e80d5b1d663a0a993b8701255f16b2f6056f335ba6e3e720e57ed Salt = YdlPM5yjBmc/;JO6cfL5 [ ** ] After that start ZNC again, and you should be able to login with the new password. Take the strings after `Hash =` and `Salt =` and insert them as the value for `irc_password_hash` and `irc_password_salt` respectively. Alternatively, if you don’t already have `znc` installed, Python 3.3 or higher on Linux will generate the appropriate string for you (assuming your password is `password`): python3 -c 'import crypt; print("irc_password_salt: {}\nirc_password_hash: {}".format(*crypt.crypt("password", salt=crypt.METHOD_SHA256).split("$")[2:]))' On OS X and other platforms the passlib:https://pythonhosted.org/passlib/ package may be used to generate the required string: python -c 'import passlib.hash; print("irc_password_salt: {}\nirc_password_hash: {}".format(*passlib.hash.sha256_crypt.encrypt("password", rounds=5000).split("$")[2:]))'
