Deploying Trellis to Binary Lane

trellis

Having a problem deploying to Binary Lane, an Australian alternative to Digital Ocean. I was able to get this same site deployed to DO, but having no luck with BL.

When running ./deploy.sh production example.com I get an error:

fatal: [103.16.128.102]: UNREACHABLE! => {"changed": false, "unreachable": true}

Having read through some other threads on here with similar issues I’ve tried the following:

ssh -o PasswordAuthentication=no [email protected] "echo can_connect" ||

And I get the echo can connect.

I’ve also tried:

ansible 103.16.128.102 -m ping -i hosts/production -u root -vvvv

And I get Success

Is there something else I can try to debug this connection? Thank you.

I’ll answer my own question here to an extent … I had to re-build the production server but including the following to ansible/roles/common/tasks/main.yml

Under with_items:

  • systemd-services to fix a timezone error
  • util-linux to fix a fallocate error

I’m still yet to get this deployment going due to some other issue but thought I’d add these fixes here.

We use BinaryLane also. I’m assuming you got things up and running, but here are a couple of things we need to do in our Trellis setup

Change the swapfile role:

- { role: swapfile, swapfile_size: 1000, swapfile_use_dd: True, tags: [swapfile] }

Default timezone works in this format:

default_timezone: Etc/GMT+10

You also need to disable port blocking as 22 is blocked on outgoing by default so deploys dont’ work.

We add firewall rules for Port 25 and 3389 separately.

Yeah I did the port changes, but didn’t need to change anything with the swapfile role. I made a list of the required changes in a blog post.

A PR to ensure those 2 packages are installed would be welcome. Do you want to care of that?
