# Ansible Setup

Ansible setup is now done through Ansible itself plus a short bootstrap script.  Please check earlier revisions of this page for manual setup.

### Prerequisites

* You have sudo installed and you have sudo permissions.

* You have a GPG key pair and SSH key pair on this computer.

* Your SSH public key for this computer must be added to your Gitea account.  Ideally it's also on other servers.

* Your GPG public key must be added to the pass database, and it must be signed by Jon.

* Nextcloud should be installed.

NOTE: You can bootstrap without adding your server to crm.megaphonetech.com, but after bootstrap your server must be in the inventory.

### Bootstrap script

Run these commands:

```shell

sudo apt install ansible git

git clone https://github.com/MegaphoneJon/ansible-main.git ansible

cd ansible

git submodule init

git submodule sync

git submodule update

# Install some extra Ansible plugins

ansible-galaxy collection install ansible.posix

# If this server has no desktop environment, you'll probably need to start ssh-agent manually. Otherwise skip the next 2 commands.

eval "$(ssh-agent)"

# This command will prompt you for your SSH passphrase.

ssh-add

# run the bootstrap. You'll be prompted for your 'BECOME password'; it's your user pw (for sudo).

ansible-playbook localhost-bootstrap.yml --ask-become-pass

# Your computer must be in the "Server List" on crm.megaphonetech.com to do the next step.

run provision.yml --tags bootstrap

```
