Foundry VTT Server Configuration

This repo contains an Ansible playbook for configuring a server to run the Foundry VTT software.

Currently, the playbook will:

• Install dependencies (nodejs, caddy, unzip)
• Create a foundry user/group
• Extract the Foundry app onto the remote server
• Configure caddy to reverse proxy the app

Things it still needs:

• Unit file to run the app
• Configuration file for Foundry itself
• A data directory for Foundry to use

Usage instructions

Assumptions

• You already have a VPS running and DNS records pointing your desired domain at it.
• You have a valid SSH key for your root user configured in your SSH agent.
• You have Ansible installed and are reasonably familiar with it.

Steps

Create a copy of the example variables file cp variables.yml.example variables.yml and change the domain name to the correct value.

Run the playbook against your server, e.g. ansible-playbook foundry_playbook.yml -i vtt.vidja.social, (Note the comma after the domain, this tells ansible it's an address and not an inventory file).
