## Overview
Manage some basics configuration for IPR's servers.
## Role Variables
* **basics__domain**: Domain to use [default: `{{ ansible_domain }}`].
* **basics__hosts_localhost_manage**: If the localhost (127.0.0.1) line should be managed [default: `false`].
* **basics__hosts_localhost_content**: Content of the localhost (127.0.0.1) line [default: `localhost.localdomain localhost`].
* **basics__hosts_ipv4_manage**: If the ipv4 address line should be managed [default: `false`].
* **basics__hosts_ipv4_content**: Content of the ipv4 address line [default: `{{ ansible_hostname }}.{{ basics__domain }} {{ ansible_hostname }}`].
* **basics__proxmox_disable_hosts**: Disable the management of **/etc/hosts** file by Proxmox for LXC containers [default: `True`].
## Example Playbook
* If you want to manage both localhost (127.0.0.1) and permanent IP (ipv4) lines:
``` yml
- hosts: serverXYZ
roles:
- role: ipr-cnrs.basics
basics__hosts_localhost_manage: true
basics__hosts_ipv4_manage: true
```
* If the domain is not defined on the remote host, you should set the `basics__domain` variable:
``` yml
- hosts: serverXYZ
roles:
- role: ipr-cnrs.basics
basics__domain: 'mydomain.org'
basics__hosts_ipv4_manage: true
````
## Configuration
### Hosts
Ensure to have the correct fqdn and hostname in /etc/hosts:
- You can define the domain if it's not correct on the remote host.
- You can choose to define the localhost (127.0.0.1) line content.
- You can choose to define the permanent ip (ipv4) line content.
- All other lines that contains hostname without this permanent ip address will be removed.
For LXC containers, also ensure to disable the management of /etc/hosts by Proxmox:
- Touch a /etc/.pve-ignore.hosts file.
## Development
This source code comes from our [Gogs instance][basics source] and the [Github repo][basics github] exist just to be able to send the role to Ansible Galaxy…
But feel free to send issue/PR here :)
Thanks to this [hook][gogs to github hook], Github automatically got updates from our [Gogs instance][basics source] :)
