Provisioning a new VPS

Assuming I'm using Vultr right now.

1. Pick specs
   • Sydney location, $5 VPS, Debian 9 should be good

   • Enable IPv6 and Auto Backups

   • Tick all SSH keys

   • Generic firewall group

   • Pick a good hostname and a leave the label as matching it
2. Deploy Now

3. Once the installation gets far enough it'll have an IP address allocated. Grab it and go add the DNS entry for it at https://www.gandi.net/en

4. Go to the server's settings and set your Reverse DNS, foo.meidokon.net

5. Configure backups: Weekly, Friday, 21:00 UTC

You should be pretty much sorted now.

Configuring the new VPS

Debian

1. Get onto the box via the new IP or DNS

2. Install minimal set of packages

   apt-get update
   apt-get install -y aptitude
   aptitude install -y git make
   aptitude install -y puppet-module-puppetlabs-stdlib

3. Clone the puppet code

   cd /etc/puppet/
   rmdir code
   git clone https://github.com/barneydesmond/personal-puppet.git code

4. Run puppet to conform the system:

   make -C /etc/puppet/code full

Your system should now be good.

Redhat

1. Get onto the box via the new IP or DNS

2. Install minimal set of packages

   yum install -y git make
   yum install -y puppetlabs-stdlib

3. Clone the puppet code

   cd /etc/puppet/
   rmdir code
   git clone https://github.com/barneydesmond/personal-puppet.git code
   rmdir modules
   ln -s /etc/puppet/code/modules

4. Run puppet to conform the system:

   make -C /etc/puppet/code full

Your system should now be good.

Raspberry Pi

Provisioning

1. Download the latest image, like Raspbian buster-lite, write it to SD card with balenaEtcher
2. Boot as normal, let it do the firstboot thing

3. Rename it: https://wiki.debian.org/HowTo/ChangeHostname or use raspi-config tool

4. Wifi as needed in raapi-config
5. Set locale and default system locale in raspi-config

6. Enable ssh

   systemctl enable --now ssh

7. Fully update

     apt update and full-upgrade
     apt install vim
     reboot

8. Change password for pi account

9. Install your ssh pubkeys
10. apt autoremove, autoclean

11. Install useful packages:

    apt install openjdk-8-jre-headless
    apt install haveged
    apt install lsof tcpdump netcat strace nmap

12. Empty motd, don't care about that on SSH login

    > /etc/motd

Unifi stuff

1. Install Unifi repo
