Continuous Deployment Role

Creates a user (called off by default) and adds a SSH public key to its authorized_keys. Those are used to setup a CI/CD using GitHub Actions.

Setup a new node

To setup a new node, create a file called host_vars/<node_name>/continuous-deployment.yml with the following variable:

continuous_deployment_ssh_public_key: "ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3Nz[...] off@<node_name>"

The SSH public key put in this variable is used to authenticate the deployer user. The corresponding private key should be added to the GitHub Actions secrets.

This public/private keypair can be generated with

ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "off@<node_name>"
