This repository contains infrastructure-as-code ansible configurations for various pieces of the EmacsConf infrastructure. ansible-galaxy collection install community.general Production: needs prod-vars.yml, see prod-vars.yml.sample Docker: needs docker-vars.yml, see docker-vars.yml.sample * How to use this playbook 1. Install ansible on your local machine and check out this repo. 2. Copy the ansible_vars block from conf.org to prod-vars.yml in this repo (alongside inventory.yml), or set emacsconf-ansible-directory in Emacs and then use emacsconf-ansible-tangle-vars to tangle the file. 3. scp orga@res.emacsconf.org:~/authorized_keys . (if you're setting up any user accounts) 4. Find the ansible-playbook command you want to run and try it out. Debugging: add -v or -vv to the =ansible-playbook= command. * Setting up a vault :PROPERTIES: :CUSTOM_ID: vault :END: You can store passwords in vault files if you like.

Update =group_vars/all.yml=: set =emacsconf_year=. 2. In the conf.org file, call =M-x emacsconf-set-file-prefixes= to set the file prefixes. Tweak as needed. 3.
