Installs Pure-FTPd on Debian/Ubuntu Linux.
This role installs and configures the latest version of Pure-FTPd from the Pure-FTPd via apt (on Debian-based systems). You will likely need to do extra setup work after this role has installed Pure-FTPd.
None.
Available variables are listed below, along with default values (see defaults/main.yml):
pure_ftpd_root: "/var/ftp"
A directory path at which to scope the FTP server access.
pure_ftpd_user: "ftp"
The system-level user that the FTP daemon performs operations under. This user is setup without login permissions (can't ssh into system) but owns all of the files uploaded via the FTP server.
pure_ftpd_group: "ftp-sys-group"
The system-level group that the FTP daemon performs operations under. This is the group assigned to all files uploaded via the FTP server.
pure_ftpd_vusers:
- name: "ftp"
password: "FTPisSoC00l?"
dir: "/var/ftp" # optional
A list of user definitions virtual FTP users. If left empty, defaults to a single user with the username ftp and password ftp. name and password are required fields. dir is optional and defaults to the value of ftp_root.
Since the array of virtual_users needs to contain secret credentials, it is recommended to create an Ansible Vault-encrypted variable file to include that contains your users and overrides the role default vars.
pure_ftpd_tls: true
Turns on/off support for FTP TLS encryption. It is strongly recommended that this remain true.
pure_ftpd_allow_insecure: false
When TLS encryption is enabled, the default is to not allow non-encrypted, insecure connections. Setting this value to true will allow both secure and insecure connections. Requires that enable_tls be true.
pure_ftpd_pem: ""
The contents of the PEM certificate to use for FTP TLS encryption. It is recommended to create an Ansible Vault-encrypted variable file to include that contains your PEM certificate.
If no pure_ftpd_pem is provided, a PEM certificate is generated using openssl.
pure_ftpd_openssl_config: {}
The openssl_config vars object controls the generation of an openssl PEM certificate + key combination.
The sub-properties of the openssl_config object are as follows:
days: "365"
The number of days for which the certificate is valid.
size: "2048"
The size of the certificate key. The larger, the more secure.
country: ""
state: ""
locality: ""
org: ""
unit: ""
common: ""
email: ""
The values of the certificate subject information.
None.
