Variables contained within this IAC should be flexible enough to cater to you. They are contained in two locoations: ./ansible/roles/common/vars/main.yml' and ./terraform/terraform.tfvars`; override or replace them however you wish

• password, user

  • default password and user for the VPS

• domain_name

  • domain name. Used for Caddy's automatic HTTPS certification registration
  • Ensure registrar is pointing to DigitalOcean's name servers (ns1.digitalocean.com, etc). (We will handle the rest)

• folder_name

  • folder name within /home/{{ user }} to rsync the source code to. This also changes the name of the systemd service file

  • username to enter when navigating to site (by defualt, user)

• web_password

  • password to enter when navigating to site (by default, the same value as folder_name)

• node_port

  • port that the NodeJS server attaches to

Uploading Media

1. Place Media in proper location

• Captions: ./local/captions.vtt
• Movie Information: ./local/info.toml
• Movie: ./local/movie.mp4

I recommend cliflix for searching and downloading movies. Of course, ensure you're connected to a VPN

2. Sync to server

just provision_tag rsync-movie

• Syncing will occur automatically on first provision
• See ./ansible/roles/common/tasks/rsync.yml for implementation detail. See ./old to sync yourself

Useful Information

just ssh

2. Shut down infra to save on cost

just destroy
