The comment claimed every attached app "sees a cold cache". That is not what happens. RDB persistence is on by default, the recreate is a graceful stop, and valkey-server writes a final dump.rdb on SIGTERM that the new container loads back off the bind mount -- so keys survive, which is the part the readme already gets right and this comment did not. What does not survive is availability for the seconds the container is down: Nextcloud keeps its PHP sessions and memcache.locking there, and Yamtrack uses it as its Celery broker, so those seconds are seconds in which logins and queued tasks are unreachable. Only a hard kill or a power loss costs changes since the last save point. That is the warning a future reader needs, and it is what the nextcloud playbook's own handler comment now points at.
Ansible Playbooks
A collection of minimalist Ansible playbooks for automating server setups, based on DigitalOcean's Community guides.
- Initial Server Setup for Ubuntu 18.04 *
- Apache on Ubuntu 18.04
- Postgres on Ubuntu 19.10
- Redis on Ubuntu 19.10
- Bitwarden Ubuntu 19.10
- Gitea on Ubuntu 19.10
*the Initial Server Setup should be your starting point for fresh servers.
Playbook Structure
The playbooks contained in this repository were created for educational purposes, and should serve as a base for you to create your own playbooks and roles.
Although we opt to not use roles, our playbooks follow a distinctive structure to facilitate reuse while keeping them mostly self-contained and straightforward.
For instance, this is how the lemp playbook is structured:
lemp_ubuntu1804
├── files
│ ├── info.php.j2
│ └── nginx.conf.j2
├── vars
│ └── default.yml
├── playbook.yml
└── readme.md
files/: directory containing templates and other files required by the playbook.vars/: directory to save variable files. Adefault.ymlvar file is included by default.playbook.yml: the playbook file.readme.md: instructions and links related to this playbook.
Getting Started
To set up your Ansible environment, please follow our guide on How to Install and Configure Ansible on Ubuntu 18.04.
Connection Test
From your local machine or Ansible control node, run:
ansible all -m ping -u remote_user
If you're able to get a "pong" reply back from your node(s), your setup works as expected and you'll be able to run both ad-hoc commands and playbooks on your nodes, using Ansible.
Guides
The following guides cover how to use the playbooks you'll find in this repository.
Initial Server Setup
