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
• Set up a data directory for Foundry to use
• Configure caddy to reverse proxy the app
• Set up a systemd unit to run the app

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.
• You have a valid, licensed copy of the Foundry VTT server software in a zip file on your local machine

Steps

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

Make sure the Foundry zip file is in the root of this project and called foundryvtt.zip.

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).
