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 to compile solanum
• (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
• repeat steps periodically for network maintainance

hosts ini

everything except the server name, linkpass, and sid are optional and have sane defaults

• paport: port for other servers to use for linking
• pahost: hostname for other servers to use for linking
