While I was thinking about #34...

This is what you have to do to make a new server today:

  • abra server new hetzner autonomic-foobar (create new VPS)
  • go to gandi web UI and wire up some A records
  • abra server add foo.autonomic.zone <myuser> <mysshport> (setup context)
  • ssh into server and install docker yourself
  • abra server init foo.autonomic.zone (install swarm/networking)

This seems like too much stuff. I don't think we've faced this issue because we create all our VPSs with Ansible automation outside of go-abra but other folks won't have all that.

Maybe we could also design a flow here for creating a new server?

I raised this cloud-init related ticket over in Capsul land, that is relevant for the bootstrapping of Docker, user accounts, firewalls etc. without the use of Ansible. People can just write a YAML cloud-init file and then abra server new would take that into account perhaps?

There was talk of abra server dns gandi <host> <ip> in #106.

Sounds amazing.

go to gandi web UI and wire up some A records

We could automate this fairly easily, right? Maybe using Lego, like Traefik does? https://go-acme.github.io/lego/

Terraform based approach sounds really interesting:
