# FIXED SOMETIME PRIOR TO AUGUST 2018: earlier versions of Ansible had not # been working with systemd service names that contained the "@" character. #- name: Enable the OpenVPN tunnel at boot time (debuntu) # shell: systemctl enable openvpn@xscenet.service # when: openvpn_enabled and not stat.exists is defined and is_debuntu #- name: Enable the OpenVPN tunnel at boot time (debuntu) # shell: update-rc.d openvpn enable # when: openvpn_enabled and not stat.exists is defined and is_debuntu #- name: Start the OpenVPN tunnel now # shell: systemctl start openvpn@xscenet.service # when: openvpn_enabled and not stat.exists is defined and not installing # AUGUST 2018: Unexplainably, stanza below had to be placed underneath ANY # "lineinfile: ... state: absent" stanza to make openvpn_handle propagate # properly to xscenet.net (monitoring ncat's erroneous handle parameter by # observing "systemctl status openvpn@xscenet" helped trace the [primary?] # bug to roles/openvpn/templates/announcer [far better now if not perfect?]) # Earlier "./runrole openvpn" had to be run twice to transmit # /etc/iiab/openvpn_handle to xscenet.net -- and # "systemctl restart openvpn@xscenet" was failing completely (no matter how # many times it was run) to transmit /etc/iiab/openvpn_handle to xscenet.net # 2018-09-02: OpenVPN had been starting tunnels by accident after reboot, # with new IIAB installs. Fix below (https://github.com/iiab/iiab/pull/1079) # changes most all instances below from CHILD service "openvpn@xscenet" to # PARENT service "openpvn". See these critical files to understand why: # # /etc/default/openvpn implies AUTOSTART="all" # /etc/init.d/openvpn has AUTOSTART="all" # /etc/openvpn/xscenet.conf our VPN connection # /etc/network/if-up.d/openvpn appears to auto-start xscenet.conf # /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install sets /etc/rc*.d/S|K01openvpn # e.g. when "systemctl enable openvpn" - name: Enable & (Re)Start PARENT 'openvpn' system service, which (re)starts CHILD service 'openvpn@xscenet' (& actual tunnel) systemd: name: openvpn daemon_reload: yes enabled: yes state: restarted # 2018-09-02: Should we be concerned that "systemctl status openvpn" often shows "active (exited)" ? If so we might consider "state: started" or "state: reloaded" instead? when: openvpn_enabled - name: Enable hourly cron job for OpenVPN (starts CHILD service openvpn@xscenet, typically for CentOS only?) lineinfile: path: /etc/crontab # CONSIDER "restart" not just "start" if something stronger is confirmed needed? line: "25 * * * * root (/usr/bin/systemctl start openvpn@xscenet.service) > /dev/null" when: openvpn_enabled and openvpn_cron_enabled - name: Remove hourly cron job for OpenVPN (typically for CentOS only?) lineinfile: path: /etc/crontab regexp: "openvpn@xscenet" # Potentially DANGEROUS as others use systemctl too: #regexp: ".*/usr/bin/systemctl*" state: absent when: not openvpn_enabled or not openvpn_cron_enabled - name: Disable & Stop PARENT 'openvpn' system service, which stops CHILD service 'openvpn@xscenet' (& actual tunnel) systemd: name: openvpn enabled: no state: stopped when: not openvpn_enabled #- name: Stop starting the OpenVPN tunnel at boot time (not debuntu) # shell: systemctl disable openvpn@xscenet.service # when: not openvpn_enabled and not is_debuntu #- name: Stop starting the OpenVPN tunnel at boot time (debuntu) # shell: update-rc.d openvpn disable # when: not openvpn_enabled and is_debuntu #- name: Stop OpenVPN tunnel immediately # shell: systemctl stop openvpn@xscenet.service # ignore_errors: True # when: not openvpn_enabled and not installing
