# va playbook

ansible playbook for solanum that supports hosts running debian or alpine

## setup
- add new host to your hosts file
- run `solanum.yml` on new host
- (optional) add your `ssl.pem` and `ssl.key` to `/home/ircd/ircd/etc/`. you probably want to make a cronjob for acme to automatically do this when the cert expires
- run config.yml on the whole network

## hosts ini
everything except the server name, `linkpass`, and `sid` are optional and have sane defaults
```
name.of.the.server linkpass=yourreceivepassword sid=123 autoconn=other.server.name paport=6697 pahost=name.accessable.by.other.hosts ansible_host=name.accessable.by.playbook sponsor='nice person' services=linkpass
```
- linkpass: password to receive from other linking servers. preferrably use something random for each one
- sid: the Server ID for the server to use, in the format `[0-9][A-Z0-9][A-Z0-9]`
- autoconn: server name to autoconnect to in the `connect {}` block
- paport: port for other servers to use for linking
- pahost: hostname for other servers to use for linking
- ansible_host: hostname for ansible to use
- sponsor: put a little server donated by person in the MOTD
- services: password to accept for services connecting over localhost, use only on the server that links to services
