Ansible Rolle to manage and deploy ssh keys of admin and non-admin users

intended use

This role is designed to manage linux hosts with the following roles. This role here basically only focuses on deploying the correct ssh public keys to the correct users depending on the configuration. Other roles icreating users and groups, configure sshd, roll out dotfiles or install a number of useful packages.

A list of suggested roles to manage your linux host:

Good to know:

The listed roles use the same variables to create accounts, admins and so on. But the roles have to run in the correct order to work properly. For example you can't deploy a ssh public key for a user that is not created.

Variables

  • admins (default []):
    A list of ssh keys allowed to log in as root.

  • accounts (default []):
    A list of usernames that will be created on this host, if they don't exisit

  • users (default {}):
    A dict of user names mapping to lists of ssh keys allowed to log in to the given user account.

  • ssh_public_key_store (default ssh_public_keys):
    A directory path where the public key files can be found by ansible.

For aditional variables please have a look into defaults/main.yml!

To add extra SSH Keys from github to a user use the github_users: {} settings

Files

This role assumes that the public parts of all required ssh keys can be found within the directory ssh_public_key_store. The file names must follow the convention: username_idalg.pub are are matched by the username part.

Examples

Alice and Bob may log in and are allowed to become root with the sudo command on this host:

admins:
  - alice
  - bob

Alice, Bob and Eve may log in to ther own user accounts via ssh:

users:
  alice:
    - alice
  eve:
    - eve@device1
    - eve@device2

Eve can do so with two different ssh keys. Alice only with his only SSH Key.

The files/ssh_public_keys/ contains the following files:

alice_ed25519.pub
bob_ed25519.pub
eve@device1_ed25519.pub
eve@device2_ed25519.pub

Alice, Bob and Eve want to be users on this host:

accounts:
  - alice
  - bob
  - eve

Add ssh keys from github user DO1JLR for local user L3D

github_users:
  l3d:

Generate ed25519 SSH Keys
