vps-setup

Project for automatic server setup using ansible.

Tested on Ubuntu Server 18.04.2 LTS and ansible 2.8.0.

Launch

Create config file ~/.ansible.cfg:
```
[defaults]
inventory = ~/.ansible.hosts
vault_password_file = ~/.ansible.vault.pass

[ssh_connection]
ssh_args = -o ForwardAgent=yes -o ControlMaster=auto -o ControlPersist=60s
pipelining = True
```
Few notes:
- Pipelining can make significant performance improvement when enabled, but have incompatibility with requiretty in /etc/sudoers.
- We will use ssh-agent and agent forwarding to exploit ssh keys from local machine on remotes. So don't forget to run ssh-add before running scripts.
Create hosts file ~/.ansible.hosts.
For example:
```
[web]
user@1.1.1.1
```
Create file ~/.ansible.vault.pass with password for ansible vault.
For example:
```
somesecretpassformyvault
```
