Ansible Role Travis (.org)

This role will setup a secure basic Raspbian environment with sensible defaults.

It will:

  • Install specified system packages.
  • Configure hostname.
  • Configure locale.
  • Mount tmpfs on write-intensive directories to increase the lifespan of SD-card.
  • Change the password on default user.
  • Set the default editor.
  • Setup a secure SSH configuration.
  • Configure UFW.
  • Configure /boot/config.txt.
  • Run raspi-config.
  • Configure Postfix to send email through an SMTP relay.
  • Enable unattended-upgrades.
  • Install Fail2ban.
  • Configure Logwatch to send weekly reports.

It will not:

  • Update system packages.
  • Run apt-get update. Please do this in a pre_task. See Example Playbook.
  • Install security patches but unattended-upgrades should take care of that.

Setup

  • Install python requirements by running pip install -r requirements.txt.
  • Install sshpass by running sudo apt-get install sshpass.
  • Flash SD-card with Raspbian Stretch Lite.
  • Add empty file named ssh in boot-partition of the flashed SD-card.
  • Optional: To enable wifi place a file called wpa_supplicant.conf in the boot-partition of the flashed SD-card with the following content:
network={
        ssid="your ssid"
        psk="your password"
}
  • Run playbook.

Inventory

sshpass is required to make the first Ansible run with the default password raspberry. Password authentication over SSH will then be disabled in preference of public key authentication with keys specified in ssh_public_keys. Your inventory should contain the following:

[all:vars]
ansible_connection=ssh
ansible_user=pi
ansible_ssh_pass=raspberry
