Open Game Backend Ansible Playbook

Ansible playbook used for deploying the Open Game Backend.

Setup

1. Install Ansible on your control node. We can confirm that running Ansible from Windows Subsystem for Linux works perfectly fine.
2. Copy hosts.example to hosts and edit the hosts inventory file to include the names or URLs of the servers you want to deploy.
3. Create a GitHub personal access token with the read:packages scope for downloading the Open Game Backend packages.
4. Copy group_vars/vault.example to group_vars/vault and edit the group_vars/vault file setting all necessary variables. Don't forget to encrypt your vault.
5. Open Game Backend uses third-party rules in its playbook. You might need to add the following Ansible repositories:
   1. ansible-galaxy collection install community.general
   2. ansible-galaxy install nginxinc.nginx (see https://github.com/nginxinc/ansible-role-nginx#installation)
   3. ansible-galaxy install elastic.elasticsearch,7.9.3 (see https://github.com/elastic/ansible-elasticsearch#usage)
