This playbook configures 1 to N servers using either DigitalOcean or Proxmox, it can also adds/remove the DNS records for each server automatically using CloudFlare.
It also automatically adds new hosts to your known_hosts to allow for an immediate SSH connection, so you can start working sooner!
It was created as a devops tool to help me speed up testing... although it's gradually becoming a more general tool for deploying servers.
Some packages need to be installed on the ansible controller to provision VMs on Proxmox:
pip install jmespath
pip install proxmoxer
pip install requests
ansible-galaxy collection install community.general
ansible-galaxy install PC-Admin.ansible_role_ufw
For creating Proxmox templates to use with this playbook, see docs/create_proxmox_templates.md.
-
Configure the inventories/ files for all the desired inventories and hosts appropriately.
-
Configure the DigitalOcean and CloudFlare API keys in group_vars/all.
cp -n group_vars/all.example group_vars/all
nano group_vars/all
- Run the spawn.yml playbook:
ansible-playbook -v -i inventories/demo/hosts spawn.yml
ansible-playbook -v -i inventories/demo/hosts remove.yml
To only remove the CloudFlare DNS records, use the cloudflare-dns tag:
ansible-playbook -v -i inventories/demo/hosts --tags cloudflare-dns remove.yml
The setup-firewall.yml playbook can also configure UFW on your servers, to run it:
ansible-playbook -v -i inventories/demo/hosts setup-firewall.yml

- Seperate UFW sections into a seperate playbook as it's overkill for some use cases - DONE
- Saner DNS advice? (should only display if the playbook isn't setting DNS at all) - DONE
- Update setup-server section, remove non-generic sections - DONE
- Allow setting custom DNS for hosts, if not default to Cloudflare - DONE
- Alert the user when unapplied changes are detected in Proxmox hosts (So they can manually restart these hosts) - DONE
- Create a list of virtual Proxmox disks for each host. - DONE
- Cleanup known hosts when deleting servers
- Batch testing for playbook changes
