Live servers
These boxes are running at Vultr, Sydney datacentre for low latency
These boxes are at Linode in Singapore, and need to be decommissioned
Provisioning a new VPS
Assuming I'm using Vultr right now.
- 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
- Deploy Now
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
Go to the server's settings and set your Reverse DNS, foo.meidokon.net
- Configure backups: Weekly, Friday, 21:00 UTC
You should be pretty much sorted now.
Configuring the new VPS
Debian
- Get onto the box via the new IP or DNS
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
Clone the puppet code
cd /etc/puppet/ rmdir code git clone https://github.com/barneydesmond/personal-puppet.git code
Run puppet to conform the system:
make -C /etc/puppet/code full
Your system should now be good.
Redhat
- Get onto the box via the new IP or DNS
Install minimal set of packages
yum install -y git make yum install -y puppetlabs-stdlib
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
Run puppet to conform the system:
make -C /etc/puppet/code full
Your system should now be good.
