We use this repo to keep track of our servers' configuration files. Anyone can request to make changes by following the guide in the Contribute badge above!
We use ansible to download and update config files on server startup, running local.yml from GitHub using ansible-pull.
/servers contains subfolders defining configs for different servers, in it, servers.yml defines which configs to copy based on the SERVER_NAME env variable.
plugin-versions.conf stores plugin versions which don't get installed by this playbook, but using Keepup.
Each server subfolder contains subfolders that get treated differently.
Uses rsync to simply copy files over to dest as quickly as possible.
Copies files and templates them using Jinja2 with Ansible. Add .j2 to the file extension to indicate that it's a Jinja2 template.
You can often look up how to do templating for Ansible specifically (ex. "read environment variable ansible") to get an idea for these configs, since it templates them in the same way.
Reading a secret via env variable:
secret_api_key: "{{ lookup('ansible.builtin.env', 'MY_SECRET_KEY') }}"- Install Ansible on your server
- Set the server name as an env variable called
SERVER_NAME(setBUNGEE_SERVERto true/false to decide whether to ignore theserver/minecraftdirectory.) - Configure what servers run on that server under `host_vars/.yml
- Run the command inside
update-configs.shon the appropriate server. The rest is done automatically.
