ivansible.srv_dante

This role installs the Dante proxy server on Linux and sets up authentication and IPv6 support (see https://www.inet.no/dante/doc/1.4.x/config/ipv6.html).

Requirements

Dante requires version 1.4.1 or newer for authentication. On Ubuntu 18.04 and later, you can install the dante-server package from the universe repository. On Ubuntu 16.04, you need to install the bionic .deb file using some workarounds because the official package is an older version (1.1.9).

Variables

Here are the variables you can use, along with their default values:

• dante_port: 1080
  This is the port used by the Dante server. If dante_direct is true, this port will be open in the Ubuntu firewall. If false, you'll need to set up another service for indirect access.

• dante_external_addr: ...
  This is the address for outgoing connections. It can be an IP address or an interface name. It defaults to ansible_default_ipv4.address, but you can change it to ansible_default_ipv4.interface (like eth0) or any other value. It can be a single string or a list of strings.

• dante_user: dante_socks
  The username for Dante must start with 'dante_' because it’s a global Linux user.

• dante_pass: secret
  Password for the dante user.

• dante_salt: random_string
  A salt value for the password.

• dante_verbose_log: false
  This enables detailed logging (see https://www.inet.no/dante/doc/1.4.x/config/logging.html).

• dante_service_boot_fix: false
  This makes the Dante service try to restart if there are problems after booting.
