# setup_new_server
git clone
add target IP and name to local (ansible machine) /etc/hosts
USE ONLY THE NAME IN hosts.yml and .ssh/config
for root:
ssh-copy-id to target
in hosts.yml be very careful to use:
Host new.test.server new1
## The new1 is VERY important as it defines the user variables
In pass.yml we will have tha variables new1_user_passwd, new1_sudo_passwd and new1_root_passwd
ansible-vault create passwd.yml or ansible-vault edit passwd.yml
move and edit config to ~.ssh/config
test connection: ansible -m ping --ask-vault-pass --extra-vars '@passwd.yml' TARGET_IP OR NAME -u root
run playbook: ansible-playbook --ask-vault-pass --extra-vars '@passwd.yml' ubuntu/setup-pb.yml -l TARGET_IP OR NAME -u root
On TARGET:
modify /etc/sysctl.conf, add the line:
net.ipv4.icmp_echo_ignore_all = 1 #don't respond to pings
and then: sudo sysctl -p
Change :
allow root login : PermitRootLogin prohibit-password
to
allow root login : no
copy the content of /home/franv/.ssh/id_rsa.pub to target /home/user_this/.ssh/authorized_keys
