ivansible.srv_dante

This role installs dante proxy server on linux, configures authentication and IPv6 support (see https://www.inet.no/dante/doc/1.4.x/config/ipv6.html).

Requirements

Dante supports authentication starting from version 1.4.1 only. On ubuntu 18.04 bionic (and later), the dante-server universe package is used. On ubuntu 16.04 xenial, the bionic .deb file is installed (through pain and workarounds), since official package is the old 1.1.9.

Variables

Available variables are listed below, along with default values.

dante_port: 1080
dante_direct: true

If direct is true, the port will be enabled in ubuntu firewall. If not, you should configure another service to enable indirect access to this port.

dante_external_addr: ...

The address to be used for outgoing connections. Can be set as either an IP address or an interface name. By default this is ansible_default_ipv4.address, but you can set it as ansible_default_ipv4.interface (eg. eth0) or whatever you like. This can be a string or list of strings.

dante_user: dante_socks

Note: dante username must start with 'dante_' because it's a global linux user

dante_pass: secret
dante_salt: `random_string`

Password and salt.

dante_verbose_log: false

Enables verbose logging (see https://www.inet.no/dante/doc/1.4.x/config/logging.html).

dante_service_boot_fix: false

Makes dante service restart after boot problems.
