Prerequisites

• remote server on Ubuntu OS(tested on versions: 18, 20, 22) - can be ported to other distros later
• remote server credentials: ip-address, login and password
• docker installed on your local computer

Loading

1. Download this repo on your local computer and open root folder
2. Fill settings.yml according to comments
3. Run from command-line in current folder docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/data --network=host cytopia/ansible:latest-infra ansible-playbook vpn-playbook.yml -i settings.yml

If you need to reinstall the vpn on same server - it's easier to make fresh os installation via your server hosting management console. Other ways require more experience with ssh, ansible, docker and linux

Improvements

1. More services should be handled via docker - it makes em easily portable to other distros. Main blocker here are docker image autoupdate possibility - there's only few official docker images for the services required
2. Port to other distros
3. Speed up - data structure loading is implemented often in not optimal ways
