automated setup from blank debian to a basically usable workadventure instance

Pretext

This Repository tries to be a help in your quest in deploying your very own WorkAdventure-Instance. On the other hand, it won't help you in designing your own maps.

Let's assume, you have the cheapest VPS Instance from Hetzner.

Problems solved by the Ansible Roles

Preparation

You can then use the user-data functionality of Cloud-Init as a Kickstarter for your server.

This prepares you to have a basically working server to which you can logon via ssh with your private key. After that you can use git to pull this repository and install Ansible.

Then you should create a Vault-File for Ansible and name it "vars.vault.yml". An example is provided in "vault-template.yml".

After you filled in the Vault-File, fill in your specific data inside the deployment.yml.

workadventure_domain: "workadventure.<domain>"
workadventure_start_room: "/_/global/raw.githubusercontent.com/raumzeitlabor/rc3-map-lounge/main/main.json"
jitsi_url: "<jitsii-server>"

Execution

Execute Ansible:

ansible-playbook deployment.yml -e @vars.vault.yml --ask-vault-pass

Reboot is necessary
