Ansible Role: mythtv

An Ansible role that installs MythTV on Fedora.

It installs and configures mythbackend and mythweb. The role currently doesn't support installing mythfrontend.

Requirements

The UnitedRPMs or rpmfusion-free repository has to be installed before running this role. Also MySQL/MariaDB, nginx and php have to be installed beforehand. To achieve this the following roles can be used:

• mjanser.mysql
• mjanser.nginx
• mjanser.php

Role Variables

Available variables are listed below, along with default values:

mythtv_database_password: secret
mythtv_restore_database: ~

mythtv_mythweb: true
mythtv_mythweb_hostname: localhost
mythtv_mythweb_allowed_network: "{{ ansible_default_ipv4.network|default('192.168.1.0') }}/{{ ('192.168.1.0/' ~ ansible_default_ipv4.netmask|default('255.255.255.0'))|ipaddr('prefix') }}"

mythtv_backup: true
mythtv_backup_directory: /var/lib/backup/mythtv

Database

The user for accessing the database is always mythtv. The password can be set with the variable mythtv_database_password.

If you define a path to an existing SQL file in the variable mythtv_restore_databaase, this file will be imported after creating the database.

Mythweb

The installation of mythweb can be enabled or disabled with the variable mythtv_mythweb.

The variable mythtv_mythweb_hostname defines the hostname which will be configured in the nginx configuration. Make sure the server is accessable from the network with this name.

By default access to mythweb is restricted to the local network. This can be adjusted with the variable mythtv_mythweb_allowed_network.

Backup

If backup is enabled (mythtv_backup), a systemd timer will be installed which regularily runs the backup script of MythTV. The backup is stored in the directory defined in the variable mythtv_backup_directory.

Dependencies
