This repo contains Ansible playbooks and tasks for configuring and administering the uncletopia server cluster.
Install Ansible & Clone playbooks
sudo apt-add-repository --yes --update ppa:ansible/ansible
apt install ansible make git git-lfs sshpass -y
or for macOSgit clone [email protected]:leighmacdonald/uncletopia && cd uncletopia
ansible-galaxy collection install community.general
ansible-galaxy collection install ansible.posix
- Add a new entry under
./hosts.yml
- Copy an existing host config from
./host_vars
and name it to the hostname you just set in./hosts.yml
make
Just place the maps (.bsp) you want under roles/tf2/files/tf/maps
and update
the mapcycle.txt
config file below.
All the static configs are copies from roles/tf2/files/tf/cfg
To change dynamic values (values that are unique to each host), you can edit the files
under host_vars. eg: dane-us1.jttm.us.yml
.
These command should be run from the Uncletopia folder on your local host system, NOT on the servers themselves.
Add your hostkey for the new server to your local ssh config. Ansible cannot do this properly.
Just run ssh your_new_host.jttm.us
and enter yes
for the confirmation.
➜ uncletopia git:(master) ✗ ssh dane-eu2.jttm.us
The authenticity of host 'dane-eu2.jttm.us (185.107.96.74)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is SHA256:0idxMY3Fezv2FYGSAaG1HjLVk2BkOICgmM93+646RCM.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no/[fingerprint])? yes
Warning: Permanently added 'dane-eu2.jttm.us,185.107.96.74' (RSA) to the list of known hosts.
Add your ssh public key for root ssh-copy-id [email protected]
➜ uncletopia git:(master) ✗ ssh-copy-id [email protected]
/usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: INFO: attempting to log in with the new key(s), to filter out any that are already installed
/usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: INFO: 1 key(s) remain to be installed -- if you are prompted now it is to install the new keys
Enter passphrase for key '/home/leigh/.ssh/id_rsa':
[email protected]'s password:
Number of key(s) added: 1
Now try logging into the machine, with: "ssh '[email protected]'"
and check to make sure that only the key(s) you wanted were added.
➜ uncletopia git:(master) ✗
- Add tf2 group
- Add tf2server user
- Setup firewall
- Setup SSH
make adduser
or ansible-playbook -u your_ssh_username -i your_hosts.yml -K adduser.yml
Note that this will only ever run ONCE per server as it disables the mechanism it uses to login as the last step. Failures for the existing servers is expected behaviour.
- Install prerequisite apt packages
- Update the server
- Adds prometheus support
make system
or ansible-playbook system.yml
Next you can install the prerequisites for the tf2 server itself. This will do:
- Install LinuxGSM
- Install TF2 base files under
~/serverfiles
make pre
or ansible-playbook pre.yml
You are now ready to deploy the custom parts of the TF2 instance. This will:
- Copy the sourcemod folders (addons/sourcemod)
- Copy maps stores in
roles/tf2/files/tf/maps
- Generate a custom tf2server.cfg from the template
- Install & Start the tf2server.service systemd service
make
or ansible-playbook deploy.yml
To be able to use this repo with your own private configs, there is an included helper script included: add_configs.sh
Your config dir should contain the host_vars and group_vars folders and all your configs you want inside those dirs.
For example:
$ ls -la ../uncletopia-config
drwxr-xr-x 5 leighm leighm 4096 Feb 28 21:01 .
drwxr-xr-x 6 leighm leighm 4096 Feb 28 20:55 ..
drwxr-xr-x 8 leighm leighm 4096 Feb 28 21:02 .git
drwxr-xr-x 2 leighm leighm 4096 Feb 28 21:00 group_vars
drwxr-xr-x 2 leighm leighm 4096 Feb 28 21:00 host_vars
# ls -la ../uncletopia-config/host_vars
drwxr-xr-x 2 leighm leighm 4096 Feb 28 21:00 .
drwxr-xr-x 5 leighm leighm 4096 Feb 28 21:01 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 leighm leighm 186 Feb 22 21:02 as1.uncledane.com.yml
-rw-r--r-- 1 leighm leighm 185 Feb 22 21:02 eu1.uncledane.com.yml
...
Then link your configs with the following command, replacing the value with the path to your own config dir.
$ ./add_configs.sh ../uncletopia-config
Adding configs from ../uncletopia-config
Added hosts config: ../uncletopia-config/host_vars/us4.uncledane.com.yml
Added hosts config: ../uncletopia-config/host_vars/us5.uncledane.com.yml
Added hosts config: ../uncletopia-config/host_vars/us6.uncledane.com.yml
Added group config: ../uncletopia-config/group_vars/all.yml
...
You should now see your linked configs in the tree.
$ ls -la host_vars
total 16
drwxr-xr-x 2 leighm leighm 4096 Feb 28 21:18 .
drwxr-xr-x 8 leighm leighm 4096 Feb 28 21:20 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 leighm leighm 281 Feb 22 22:17 192.168.0.210.yml
lrwxrwxrwx 1 leighm leighm 52 Feb 28 21:18 as1.uncledane.com.yml -> ../uncletopia-config/host_vars/as1.uncledane.com.yml
lrwxrwxrwx 1 leighm leighm 52 Feb 28 21:18 eu1.uncledane.com.yml -> ../uncletopia-config/host_vars/eu1.uncledane.com.yml
lrwxrwxrwx 1 leighm leighm 52 Feb 28 21:18 eu2.uncledane.com.yml -> ../uncletopia-config/host_vars/eu2.uncledane.com.yml
lrwxrwxrwx 1 leighm leighm 52 Feb 28 21:18 ha1.uncledane.com.yml -> ../uncletopia-config/host_vars/ha1.uncledane.com.yml
...
This will setup a dual repo structure where your private configs are under one tree and are linked to the correct locations within the main repo, without having to mix environments.
- git clone [email protected]:leighmacdonald/uncletopia.git
- git clone [email protected]:leighmacdonald/uncletopia-configs.git
- cd uncletopia
- ./add_configs.sh ../uncletopia-configs
From here you should me able to run make
commands.
