deuxfleurs.fr
=============
**OBSOLETION NOTICE:** We are progressively migrating our stack to NixOS, to replace Ansible. Most of the files present in this repository are outdated or obsolete,
the current code for our infrastructure is at: <https://git.deuxfleurs.fr/Deuxfleurs/nixcfg>.
## Our abstraction stack
We try to build a generic abstraction stack between our different resources (CPU, RAM, disk, etc.) and our services (Chat, Storage, etc.), we develop our own tools when needed:
* **[garage](https://git.deuxfleurs.fr/Deuxfleurs/garage/):** S3-compatible lightweight object store for self-hosted geo-distributed deployments (we also have a legacy glusterfs cluster)
* **[diplonat](https://git.deuxfleurs.fr/Deuxfleurs/diplonat):** network automation (firewalling, upnp igd)
* **[bottin](https://git.deuxfleurs.fr/Deuxfleurs/bottin):** authentication and authorization (LDAP protocol, consul backend)
* **[guichet](https://git.deuxfleurs.fr/Deuxfleurs/guichet):** a dashboard for our users and administrators
* **ansible:** physical node configuration
* **nomad:** schedule containers and handle their lifecycle
* **consul:** distributed key value store + lock + service discovery
* **stolon + postgresql:** distributed relational database
* **docker:** package, distribute and isolate applications
Some services we provide:
* **Websites:** garage (static) + fediverse blog (plume)
* **Chat:** Synapse + Element Web (Matrix protocol)
* **Email:** Postfix SMTP + Dovecot IMAP + opendkim DKIM + Sogo webmail (legacy) | Alps webmail (experimental)
* **Storage:** Seafile (legacy) | Nextcloud (experimental)
* **Visio:** Jitsi
As a generic abstraction is provided, deploying new services should be easy.
## I am lost, how this repo works?
To ease the development, we make the choice of a fully integrated environment
1. `os` the base os for the cluster
1. `build`: where you will build our OS image based on Debian that you will install on your server
2. `config`: our Ansible recipes to configure and update your freshly installed server
2. `apps` apps we deploy on the cluster
1. `build`: our Docker files to build immutable images of our applications
2. `integration`: Our Docker compose files to test locally how our built images interact together
3. `config`: Files containing application configurations to be deployed on Consul Key Value Store
4. `deployment`: Files containing application definitions to be deployed on Nomad Scheduler
3. `op_guide`: Guides to explain you operations you can do cluster wide (like configuring postgres)
## Start hacking
### Deploying/Updating new services is done from your machine
*The following instructions are provided for ops that already have access to the servers (meaning: their SSH public key is known by the cluster).*
Deploy Nomad on your machine:
```bash
export NOMAD_VER=1.0.1
wget https://releases.hashicorp.com/nomad/${NOMAD_VER}/nomad_${NOMAD_VER}_linux_amd64.zip
unzip nomad_${NOMAD_VER}_linux_amd64.zip
sudo mv nomad /usr/local/bin
rm nomad_${NOMAD_VER}_linux_amd64.zip
```
Deploy Consul on your machine:
```bash
export CONSUL_VER=1.9.0
wget https://releases.hashicorp.com/consul/${CONSUL_VER}/consul_${CONSUL_VER}_linux_amd64.zip
unzip consul_${CONSUL_VER}_linux_amd64.zip
sudo mv consul /usr/local/bin
rm consul_${CONSUL_VER}_linux_amd64.zip
```
Create an alias (and put it in your `.bashrc`) to bind APIs on your machine:
```
alias bind_df="ssh \
-p110 \
-N \
-L 1389:bottin2.service.2.cluster.deuxfleurs.fr:389 \
-L 4646:127.0.0.1:4646 \
-L 5432:psql-proxy.service.2.cluster.deuxfleurs.fr:5432 \
-L 8082:traefik-admin.service.2.cluster.deuxfleurs.fr:8082 \
-L 8500:127.0.0.1:8500 \
<a server from the cluster>"
```
and run:
bind_df
Adrien uses `.ssh/config` configuration instead. I works basically the same. Here it goes:
```
# in ~/.ssh/config
Host deuxfleurs
User adrien
Hostname deuxfleurs.fr
# If you don't use the default ~/.ssh/id_rsa to connect to Deuxfleurs
IdentityFile <some_key_path>
PubKeyAuthentication yes
ForwardAgent No
LocalForward 1389 bottin2.service.2.cluster.deuxfleurs.fr:389
LocalForward 4646 127.0.0.1:4646
LocalForward 5432 psql-proxy.service.2.cluster.deuxfleurs.fr:5432
LocalForward 8082 traefik-admin.service.2.cluster.deuxfleurs.fr:8082
LocalForward 8500 127.0.0.1:8500
```
Now, to connect, do the following:
ssh deuxfleurs -N
## Test cluster
Configured machines available for testing are listed in the **[`test_cluster` Ansible inventory](./os/config/test_cluster.inventory.yml)**.
