How to Set Up a Server

This has only been tested with deploying to a Debian 13 host.

1. Install ansible
2. Configure ansible/group_vars/all/vars.yml and ansible/group_vars/all/vault.yml
3. Encrypt the vault with ansible-vault encrypt ansible/group_vars/all/vault.yml
4. Install collections: ansible-galaxy collection install -r ansible/requirements.yml
5. Setup: cd ansible && ansible-playbook playbooks/setup.yml --ask-vault-pass

How to Deploy Updates

Website

cd ansible
ansible-playbook playbooks/deploy-web.yml --ask-vault-pass

Minecraft

The Minecraft server is set to automatically restart daily. Most changes can wait until then so by default deploying Minecraft will not restart the server.

You can optionally pass a restart flag to force an immediate restart:

cd ansible
ansible-playbook playbooks/deploy-minecraft.yml -e restart=true --ask-vault-pass
