factorio-server

Templated factorio server using terraform with an AWS provider and ansible configuration.

Uses this role: https://github.com/bplower/ansible-factorio

Prerequisites

You will need an existing EBS volume in AWS with a tag Name=factorio_saves. This is where your save games will be stored. This infrastructure is designed to expect an existing EBS resource to ensure that terraform will never try to regenerate it.

Setup environment

Instructions are written using Ubuntu as localhost. You will need terraform, python3, and pip3 installed locally.
