# 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.

 * SSH Key: `ssh-keygen -t rsa`

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

  * In Gitea, go to **Settings > SSH / GPG Keys > Add Key**

  * In your terminal, `cd .ssh` from your home directory

  * Use either `nano` or `code` to open id_rsa.pub (if using nano, make sure to grab the full key!)

  * Paste the key where prompted in Gitea

* Your GPG public key must be added to the pass database, and it must be signed by Jon. ([transferring a key instructions here](https://linuxhint.com/export-import-keys-with-gpg/))

* 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 stage 1 script

Run these commands:

[**NOTE**: There's a bug in Ubuntu 22.10 (and newer Debian) that prohibits downloading with ansible-galaxy. Comment out the step in localhost-bootstrap.yml and install manually in ~/.ansible/collections.)

```shell

sudo apt install ansible git

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

cd ansible

# run the bootstrap stage 2. You'll be prompted for your 'BECOME password'; it's your user pw (for sudo).

ansible-playbook localhost-bootstrap.yml --inventory localhost, --ask-become-pass --extra-vars "ansible_user=ansible"

```
