ml 03d2f6d57a Add bootstrap scripts and restructure runbook
- scripts/run-bootstrap.sh: copies and runs the deploy user bootstrap on a
  fresh server, verifies SSH login, checks vault as a preflight step
- scripts/bootstrap-deploy-user.sh: runs on the server as root, accepts the
  SSH public key as an argument (read from keys/ by run-bootstrap.sh)
- scripts/check-vault.sh: decrypts vault.yml and verifies all 11 required
  secrets are present and non-empty
- docs/runbook.md: restructured into correct order (collections → DNS → vault
  → bootstrap → playbook), added scripts reference table, moved first-run
  notes for Gitea/Keycloak/registry into their own section
- README.md: added scripts/ to repo layout

# Provisioning Runbook
Follow these steps to provision the server from scratch — whether setting it up
for the first time or reinstalling after a wipe.
## Prerequisites
### Local tools
- Ansible installed (`pip install ansible`)
- `htpasswd` available (`apt install apache2-utils` or `brew install httpd`)
- `docker` available (for generating the registry htpasswd entry)
- `openssl` available (for generating secrets)
### SSH keys
Two SSH key pairs are required. Place them in the `keys/` directory (private keys
are gitignored; public keys are committed).
| File | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| `keys/root_cloud_ladkau_de` | Root access — used only during initial bootstrap |
| `keys/root_cloud_ladkau_de.pub` | Public counterpart |
| `keys/notroot_cloud_ladkau_de` | Deploy user — used by Ansible for all subsequent runs |
| `keys/notroot_cloud_ladkau_de.pub` | Public counterpart — installed on server by bootstrap |
Generate fresh key pairs if they do not already exist:
```bash
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -f keys/root_cloud_ladkau_de -C "root@cloud.ladkau.de" -N ""
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -f keys/notroot_cloud_ladkau_de -C "deploy@cloud.ladkau.de" -N ""
```
Upload the root public key to the server via the Strato control panel (or paste
it during the initial OS install) so that `root@217.154.207.148` is accessible
before running anything.
## Steps
### 1. Install Ansible collections
From the repo root:
```bash
ansible-galaxy collection install -r ansible/requirements.yml
```
Required collections:
- `community.general` — ufw, timezone modules
- `ansible.posix` — authorized_key module
- `community.docker` — docker_network, docker_compose_v2 modules
### 2. Configure DNS
Ensure the following DNS A records point to `217.154.207.148` before running
the playbook. Traefik requests Let's Encrypt certificates on first start and
DNS must resolve at that point.
| Domain | Record |
|---------------------|--------|
| cloud.ladkau.de | A → 217.154.207.148 |
| gitea.ladkau.de | A → 217.154.207.148 |
| nextcloud.ladkau.de | A → 217.154.207.148 |
| sso.ladkau.de | A → 217.154.207.148 |
| mail.ladkau.de | A → 217.154.207.148 |
| cr.ladkau.de | A → 217.154.207.148 |
| k8s.ladkau.de | A → 217.154.207.148 |
### 3. Create the vault and populate secrets
Create `ansible/group_vars/vault.yml` (gitignored) and encrypt it with Ansible Vault:
```bash
ansible-vault create ansible/group_vars/vault.yml
```
Populate all required secrets:
```yaml
# Traefik dashboard basic auth
# Generate: echo $(htpasswd -nB admin) | sed -e 's/\$/\$\$/g'
traefik_dashboard_users: "admin:$$2y$$05$$..."
# Gitea
# Generate secrets: openssl rand -hex 32
gitea_db_password: ""
gitea_secret_key: ""
gitea_internal_token: ""
# Keycloak
keycloak_db_password: ""
keycloak_admin_password: ""
# Nextcloud
nextcloud_db_password: ""
nextcloud_admin_password: ""
# Roundcube
# des_key must be exactly 24 characters: openssl rand -hex 12
roundcube_db_password: ""
roundcube_des_key: ""
# Container registry
# Generate: docker run --entrypoint htpasswd httpd:2 -Bbn <user> <password>
registry_htpasswd: "user:$2y$05$..."
```
Verify all secrets are present and non-empty:
```bash
bash scripts/check-vault.sh
```
To edit the vault later:
```bash
ansible-vault edit ansible/group_vars/vault.yml
```
### 4. Bootstrap the deploy user
Copies the bootstrap script to the server, runs it as root, and verifies the
deploy user can log in. Also runs `check-vault.sh` as a preflight check.
```bash
bash scripts/run-bootstrap.sh
```
### 5. Run the Ansible master playbook
```bash
ansible-playbook -i ansible/inventory.ini ansible/site.yml --ask-vault-pass
```
This runs all roles in order:
| # | Role | What it does |
|---|------------|--------------|
| 1 | `base` | OS hardening, deploy user, SSH config, ufw firewall, fail2ban |
| 2 | `docker` | Docker Engine + Compose plugin, shared Traefik network |
| 3 | `traefik` | Reverse proxy, automatic TLS via Let's Encrypt |
| 4 | `gitea` | Self-hosted Git with PostgreSQL |
| 5 | `nextcloud`| File storage with PostgreSQL, Redis, cron sidecar |
| 6 | `sso` | Keycloak single sign-on with PostgreSQL |
| 7 | `mail` | Roundcube webmail client with PostgreSQL |
| 8 | `registry` | Docker Registry v2 with htpasswd auth |
| 9 | `k8s` | Placeholder page at k8s.ladkau.de |
To apply a single role:
```bash
ansible-playbook -i ansible/inventory.ini ansible/site.yml --tags <role> --ask-vault-pass
```
## First-run notes
### Gitea
`gitea_disable_registration` defaults to `true`. For the first deploy, override
it to `false` in `vault.yml` so the setup wizard can create the admin account:
```bash
ansible-vault edit ansible/group_vars/vault.yml
# add: gitea_disable_registration: false
ansible-playbook -i ansible/inventory.ini ansible/site.yml --tags gitea --ask-vault-pass
```
After the admin account is created at `https://gitea.ladkau.de`, remove the
override and redeploy to close public registration.
### Keycloak
`KEYCLOAK_ADMIN` / `KEYCLOAK_ADMIN_PASSWORD` bootstrap the initial admin account
on first start only — Keycloak ignores them once the account exists. After
logging in at `https://sso.ladkau.de`, change the admin password via the UI.
### Container registry
```bash
# Login
docker login cr.ladkau.de
# Push
docker tag myimage:latest cr.ladkau.de/myimage:latest
docker push cr.ladkau.de/myimage:latest
# Pull
docker pull cr.ladkau.de/myimage:latest
```
## Scripts reference
| Script | Purpose |
|--------|---------|
| `scripts/run-bootstrap.sh` | Copy and run the deploy user bootstrap on a fresh server |
| `scripts/bootstrap-deploy-user.sh` | Runs on the server as root — creates the deploy user |
| `scripts/check-vault.sh` | Verify vault.yml exists and all required secrets are non-empty |
