--- # sms-wa-bridge as a rootless Podman Quadlet unit on emily, behind the shared # Caddy unit (caddy/playbook.yml). # # The app is SMS webhook -> routing rules -> WhatsApp, with no LLM in the path: # an Android automation (MacroDroid) POSTs each SMS to https://bridge.tanshu.dev/sms # with an X-Auth header, rules.json decides who gets it, and whatsapp-web.js # sends it from a linked WhatsApp account. It was deployed on monoco as a plain # `docker run` container built from the Dockerfile now vendored at # files/build/ — see readme.md. # # Connects as the container user and runs everything as that user: the Quadlet # units belong to it, so the connection's PAM session is what makes # `systemctl --user` work without any environment juggling. # # gather_facts is required: podman_user and the home directory come from the # user_id / user_dir facts. # # The rootless-Podman prerequisites (installing podman, enabling lingering, the # low-port sysctl, creating the Quadlet directory) are deliberately NOT applied # here. They are the shared task file at caddy/roles/podman/tasks/main.yaml, and # a host that has already run caddy/playbook.yml has them: # # - name: Rootless Podman prerequisites # ansible.builtin.include_tasks: "{{ playbook_dir }}/../caddy/roles/podman/tasks/main.yaml" # # The variables this play needs are duplicated at the top of vars/default.yml, so # it stands on its own. (Applying the commented include above would also need # podman_unprivileged_port_start, which lives in caddy/vars/default.yml.) # # The one prerequisite it *does* need beyond Caddy's is buildah, and only on the # build path: `podman` Recommends it on Ubuntu, so caddy/roles/podman has already # installed it. Nothing needs it when the image is loaded from monoco, which is # the recommended route in readme.md. # # Run with: ansible-playbook -u tanshu sms-wa-bridge/playbook.yml - name: Deploy sms-wa-bridge as a rootless Podman Quadlet hosts: emily gather_facts: true vars_files: - vars/default.yml pre_tasks: # This must happen before the app unit is started, not after: the generated # unit references {{ network_name }}.network, and Quadlet fails *unit # generation* (so `systemctl --user start` reports "unit not found") when a # referenced .network file does not exist yet.
