= Live servers =

These boxes are running at Vultr, Sydney datacentre for low latency

 * [[/arkroyal]] - Debian 9 
 * [[/nadeko]] - Docker host (based on Centos 7.4)
 * [[/i19]] - Debian 8

These boxes are at Linode in Singapore, and need to be decommissioned

 * [[/shimakaze]] - Debian 8.8


= 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
 1. Deploy Now
 1. 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
 1. Go to the server's settings and set your ''Reverse DNS'', `foo.meidokon.net`
 1. 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
 1. 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
}}}
 1. Clone the puppet code {{{
cd /etc/puppet/
rmdir code
git clone https://github.com/barneydesmond/personal-puppet.git code
}}}
 1. 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
 1. Install minimal set of packages {{{
yum install -y git make
yum install -y puppetlabs-stdlib
}}}
 1. Clone the puppet code {{{

rmdir code
git clone https://github.com/barneydesmond/personal-puppet.git code
rmdir modules
ln -s /etc/puppet/code/modules
}}}
 1. Run puppet to conform the system: {{{

}}}

Your system should now be good.
