Architecture

Using this repo

• Dependencies:
  • Setup AWS account, and IAM user, with policies (attach EC2 Full Access) -- TODO: Manage Terraform policies better
  • User AWS CLI to configure account
  • Install Terraform
  • Install Ansible
  • Github CLI (or otherwise get Github API token)
  • Setup Cloudflare and add a domain as zone (get Cloudflare API token)
• Clone repo (potentially some permissions are required if not public, and potentially you would want to fork it first, and clone your fork)
• If setting up for the first time, generate key pairs (else get existing keys securely):
  • mkdir -p private/keys/instance private/keys/deploy
  • ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "deankayton@gmail.com" -f private/keys/instance/id
  • ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "deankayton@gmail.com" -f private/keys/deploy/id
• cp terraform.tfvars.tpl terraform.tfvars and modify what is applicable (mainly Cloudflare and Github token)
• Provision Infrastructure (terraform init and terraform apply from root of repo)
• Change workspace to 'prod' terraform workspace new prod and terraform workspace select prod and repeat last step
• Staging is the default, so to go back, terraform workspace select default
• It is possible to use Ansible to provision staging and prod simultaneously
