# Homelab Ansible — Ubuntu 24.04 (SER5 PRO)

Bootstraps the headless mini PC for **arr-stack + Ternary-Bonsai (Vulkan)**.

| Item | Value |
|------|--------|
| Host | `192.168.8.123:22` |
| User | `tim` |
| SSH key | `~/.ssh/id_ed25519` |
| Stack | `/opt/stack` |
| Media | `/storage` |

## What it installs

1. **common** — apt upgrade, essentials (`curl` `wget` `nano` `build-essential` `net-tools`), [Microsoft Edit](https://github.com/microsoft/edit), tools, unattended-upgrades, fail2ban  
2. **docker** — Docker CE + Compose plugin, enabled on boot, user in `docker`  
3. **amd_vulkan** — Mesa Vulkan, VA-API, firmware, `video`/`render` groups, udev rules  
4. **firewall** — UFW: deny inbound, allow stack ports **from LAN only** (`192.168.8.0/24`)  
5. **stack** — `/opt/stack` + `/storage`, rsync project, `.env`, Vulkan compose override, **`arr-stack.service`** so compose comes up after reboot (`restart: unless-stopped` on every service)

## Prerequisites (control machine)

```bash
# Debian/Ubuntu control node
sudo apt install -y ansible git rsync

cd /path/to/arr-stack/ansible
ansible-galaxy collection install -r requirements.yml
```

SSH must already work:

```bash
ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 tim@192.168.8.123
```

On the **server**, either enable passwordless sudo (recommended for automation):

```bash
echo 'tim ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL' | sudo tee /etc/sudoers.d/tim
sudo chmod 440 /etc/sudoers.d/tim
```

…or pass the sudo password each run with `-K` / `--ask-become-pass`.

## Run

```bash
cd ansible

# Full bootstrap (prompt for sudo if not NOPASSWD)
ansible-playbook site.yml -K

# Or limit / tags
ansible-playbook site.yml -K --tags docker,amd,firewall
ansible-playbook site.yml -K --tags stack,deploy
ansible-playbook site.yml -K --check   # dry-run (partial)
```

First connection may prompt for host key (`accept-new` is set in `ansible.cfg`).

## After the playbook

On the **server** (or via SSH):

```bash
ssh tim@192.168.8.123
# new shell so docker/video/render groups apply
cd /opt/stack

# WireGuard (if not copied): edit wireguard/wg0.conf
# Model (~7.2G):
./scripts/download-bonsai-model.sh

# Vulkan image + stack
docker compose build bonsai
docker compose up -d
docker compose ps
```

Verify GPU / tools inside the host:

```bash
vulkaninfo --summary
ls -l /dev/dri
groups   # should include docker, video, render
edit --version   # Microsoft terminal editor
curl --version && wget --version && nano --version
```

Survive reboots:

```bash
systemctl is-enabled docker arr-stack
systemctl status arr-stack
# containers use restart: unless-stopped; arr-stack.service runs compose up -d on boot
```

## Layout on the server

```
/opt/stack/                 # compose, config, models, workspace, wireguard
  docker-compose.yml
  docker-compose.override.yml   # /dev/dri for bonsai + jellyfin
  .env
  config/
  models/bonsai/
  workspace/
  wireguard/wg0.conf

/storage/                   # 1TB media disk
  media/{movies,tv,music}
  torrents/{movies,tv,music}
```

`.env` points `DATA_DIR=/storage` and `CONFIG_DIR=/opt/stack/config`.

## Variables

Edit `group_vars/all.yml` (or host_vars) for:

- `lan_subnet`, `timezone`
- `bonsai_backend` / `bonsai_ngl` (default `vulkan` / `99`)
- `ufw_allow_ssh_from_anywhere` (default `false` — SSH only from LAN)
- `deploy_stack_files` — set `false` to skip rsync

## Security notes

- Do not commit `wireguard/wg0.conf` or production `.env`.
- UFW allows service ports only from `lan_subnet`.
- Fail2ban protects SSH.
- Re-login after first run so group membership (`docker`, `render`) is active.
