	5 --[ Automating my infra deployment and configuration
	6
	7
	8 Another item on the TODO list was completed yesterday, moving all my
	9 hand rolled infrastructure to Terraform and Ansible. I provisioned it
	10 all and moved the DNS over to the new setup last night. I forgot to
	11 update the DNS TTL and it was really high - DOH! Once the DNS has fully
	12 propagated, I can shut down the old servers.
	13
	14
	15 TERRAFORM
	16 ---------
	17
	18 I host all my server at Hetzner Cloud and luckily there is a provider
	19 for Terraform. I managed to knock up scripts that provisions the
	20 following for me in Hetzner:
	21
	22
	23 add my public ssh key to account and attach to servers.
	24 create full customizable firewall per server.
	25 create X amount of servers, fully customizable.
	26 create reverse dns names for each server.
	27 bootstrap with cloud-init, creates and Ansible user with my key.
	28
	29
	30 I was going to use cloud-init to configure the servers at boot but, that
	31 would have been nightmare material. Overall, I am happy with the
	32 Terraform scripts and won't have the need to refactor or change them
	33 much.
	34
	35
	36 ANSIBLE
	37 -------
	38
	39 I really can't be bothered with Ansible these days if truth be told,
	40 I have been using it for around 8 years now. So this part of the
	41 configuration was kinda rushed, I will need to revisit the code at some
	42 point. I never used standard tooling such as molecule etc. and it will
	43 only work for Debian based systems. Anyway, this is what the Ansible
	44 playbooks do for me.
	45
	46
	47 common tasks - users, add packages, lock down ssh.
	48 geomyidae - build from source, setup with systemd.
	49 stagit-gopher - build from source, script to run via cron.
	50 git - setup hosting with daemon running.
	51 efingerd - install and add custom configuration.
	52
	53
	54 I have thrown everything up on git if anyone wants the Terraform or
	55 Ansible scripts. You can get them via a git clone or view them over
	56 gopher with the following links.
