roger-skyline- 1 project @ 42

This project aims to familiarize us with the work of a sysadmin. I had to configure a linux distribution with some basics services like OpenSSH, Fail2Ban, a web server (Nginx) etc..

Pre-requies

Thoses pre-requies are needed to work fully with Ansible for an automated deployment, otherwise you can look at Method 2 and adjust your own settings.

1. A minimal Ubuntu 18.04 LTS iso (netboot) : http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/bionic/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/mini.iso

2. VirtualBox :

   • Adapter 1 : NAT

   • Adapter 2 : Host-only Adapter with vboxnet

     • IPv4 : 192.168.56.1
     • IPv4 Network Mask : 255.255.255.252
     • DHCP Server : Disabled

3. Installation

   • Partition of 8GB

     • 3GB for /
     • 1 GB for SWAP

   • Set username to arsciand

   • Set password to 1319

4. Add the assets/rs1-key and assets/rs1-key.pub to your ~/.ssh folder

5. The passphrase for this key is qwerty

Method 1 (Fully automated deployment with Ansible)

After all the pre-requies checked, just boot your VM and runs the followings commands to install git and clone this repo

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo apt install git -y
git clone https://github.com/acuD1/roger-skyline-1.git

Then run setup.sh.

./roger-skyline-1/setup.sh

The script will install vim ccze ansible and then execute rs1-playbook.yml. This playbook will installs and configures the following roles:

• netplan
• openssh port 2222
• netdata
• nginx
• postfix
• ufw
• fail2ban
• cron_script
• parted

Each roles can be configured under /Ansible/roles, or removed by simply commenting their lines in rs1-playbook.yml

After the execution of the Ansible playbook, you can check the deployment by running

./roger-skyline-1/rerun.sh

You can now open your browser at https://192.168.56.2, it shows Netdata

Method 2 (By command line)
