# Homekeeper Infrastructure Ansible setup for a Hetzner VM (Ubuntu 24.04) running Homekeeper via Podman. ## Architecture ``` nginx (system) ← HTTPS, routes by path ├── / ← static landing page (/var/www/html) ├── /gitea/ → Gitea on :3000 (git + container registry) ├── /api/ → homekeeper-api on :8000 ├── /beekeeper/ → homekeeper-beekeeper on :3838 └── /listkeeper/ → homekeeper-listkeeper on :3839 Podman (rootful, Quadlets → systemd units) ├── homekeeper-db postgres:17, data at /opt/homekeeper/pg_data ├── homekeeper-api from Gitea registry, auto-update enabled ├── homekeeper-beekeeper from Gitea registry, auto-update enabled └── homekeeper-listkeeper from Gitea registry, auto-update enabled gitea container from docker.io, auto-update disabled ``` ## First-time setup ### 1. Provision a Hetzner VM - Ubuntu 24.04, min. CX22 (2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM) - Add your SSH key in Hetzner console - Point your domain DNS A-record to the VM IP ### 2. Configure variables Edit `group_vars/all.yml`: - Set `domain` - Set all `CHANGE_ME` passwords (consider `ansible-vault encrypt_string`) - Update `inventory/hosts.yml` with the VM IP ### 3. First run (without registry login — Gitea not yet up) Comment out the "Login to Gitea registry" task in `roles/podman/tasks/main.yml`, then run without the homekeeper role: ```bash ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts.yml site.yml --skip-tags homekeeper ``` ### 4. Set up Gitea - Visit https://git.friessn.de/ and complete the installation wizard - Create user matching `gitea_admin_user` - Create a repository for the code - Generate an API token (Settings → Applications) with `package:write` scope - Set `registry_token` in `group_vars/all.yml` ### 5. Push images to Gitea registry On your local machine, build and push the three custom images: ```bash # Login to Gitea registry docker login git.friessn.de -u nico # Build and push docker build -t git.friessn.de/nico/homekeeper-api:latest ./api docker build -t git.friessn.de/nico/homekeeper-beekeeper:latest ./beekeeper docker build -t git.friessn.de/nico/homekeeper-listkeeper:latest ./listkeeper docker push git.friessn.de/nico/homekeeper-api:latest docker push git.friessn.de/nico/homekeeper-beekeeper:latest docker push git.friessn.de/nico/homekeeper-listkeeper:latest ``` ### 6. Full playbook run ```bash ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts.yml site.yml ``` ## Deploy updates After pushing a new image to the Gitea registry, `podman auto-update` picks it up automatically within `autoupdate_schedule` (default: every 15 minutes). For an immediate deploy: ```bash ssh root@YOUR_IP podman auto-update ``` ## Secrets management For production, use ansible-vault: ```bash ansible-vault encrypt_string 'mysecretpassword' --name 'db_password' ``` Paste the output into `group_vars/all.yml` and run playbooks with `--ask-vault-pass`.
