Ansible NAS

After getting burned by broken FreeNAS updates one too many times, I figured I could do a much better job myself using just a stock Ubuntu install, some clever Ansible config and a bunch of docker containers.

What This Provides

  • Any number of Samba shares for you to store your stuff
  • Via Docker:
    • Duplicati for backing up your stuff
    • Transmission BitTorrent client (with OpenVPN if you have a supported VPN provider)
    • Sonarr for downloading and managing TV episodes
    • CouchPotato for downloading and managing movies
    • Portainer for managing Docker and running custom images
    • Glances for seeing the state of your system via a web browser

What This Doesn't Do

Ansible NAS doesn't set up your disk partitions, primarily because getting it wrong can be incredibly destructive. That aside, configuring partitions is usually a one-time (or very infrequent) event, so there's not much to be gained by automating it.

Hardware

Ansible NAS should work on any recent Ubuntu box. Development was done on Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS.

How To Use

  1. git clone https://www.github.com/davestephens/ansible-nas && cd ansible-nas
  2. Copy group_vars/all.yml.dist to group_vars/all.yml.
  3. Open up group_vars/all.yml and follow the instructions there for configuring your Ansible NAS.
  4. If you plan to use Transmission with OpenVPN, also copy group_vars/vpn_credentials.yml.dist to group_vars/vpn_credentials.yml and input your settings.
  5. Modify inventory and update it with the hostname of your NAS box.
  6. Run the playbook - something like ansible-playbook -i inventory nas.yml should do you nicely.

Migrating from FreeNAS

Assuming that your Ubuntu system disk is separate from your storage (it should be!):

  1. Disconnect your drives.
  2. Run Ansible NAS against your server.
  3. Reconnect your drives.
  4. SSH to the server and run zpool import to determine available ZFS pools.
  5. zpool import <pool_name> against the pools you want to attach.
  6. chown -R root:root /mnt/<volume> to fix the ownership of the data

TODO

  1. Handle Docker containers being enabled then subsequently disabled (i.e clean up afterwards)
  2. SMART disk monitoring
