tanshu ecb8913153 Run the Nextcloud container as root, with www-data still mapped onto the user
The second real run failed with:

    (13)Permission denied: AH00072: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80
    no listening sockets available, shutting down

`keep-id:uid=33` does not only build the mapping, it also runs the container
process as the mapped uid -- so the entrypoint and apache2 were running as
www-data, and www-data has no capabilities. Port 80 inside the container's own
network namespace therefore belongs to root. The caddy unit is the control: it
binds 80 and 443 with keep-id:uid=0, and container-root in a userns does have
NET_BIND_SERVICE.

Tested on emily before writing this, because the last two fixes here were reasoned
from the wrong model:

    podman run --userns keep-id:uid=33,gid=33 IMG id            -> uid=33(www-data)
    podman run --userns keep-id:uid=33,gid=33 --user 0 IMG id   -> uid=0(root)

So User=0 restores the process root, and it does not touch the mapping: www-data
is still the connection user, so the webroot stays theirs, the entrypoint's
--chown lands on them, and occ keeps running as www-data through the entrypoint's
own su. That is the configuration the image is written for -- it expects root to
bind the port and to chown the webroot -- which is the real argument for this
option over the two that also tested clean: --sysctl
net.ipv4.ip_unprivileged_port_start=80 and --cap-add NET_BIND_SERVICE. Both would
have fixed the symptom while leaving the entrypoint permanently unprivileged,
which is exactly what produced this failure and the redis-session.ini one before
it.

The readme's debugging section now lists all three failures this playbook has
produced and what each means, and the rescue message points there instead of
repeating a stale list.

Ansible Playbooks

A collection of minimalist Ansible playbooks for automating server setups, based on DigitalOcean's Community guides.

*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. A default.yml var 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

Once you have executed the initial server setup, you can choose from any of the available server setup playbooks:
