this is a playbook to set up an automated backup system utilizing AWS S3 as a storage location

• Downloads the dependencies (inotify-tools and awscli)
• Configures an aws profile to connect to (using already established credentials)
• Uploads a listener script
  • The listener script runs inotifywait on a directory, when things change it creates an encrypted tarball of the files in the directory
• Uploads an upload script
  • The upload script uploads all encrypted tarballs in a directory and removes them from the local filesystem
• Starts listeners and runs them in the background
• Sets up cron to run at 0300 local time everyday

Simply put, all you should have to do is set the ansible variables in the hosts and the group_vars/host/vars.yml files to the values you want, and then run the playbook.

• It is currently set up to run su as the become method, so if you want to use a different method, you'll have to change that.
• Python 3.6 is used, so make sure that is set up. I have a playbook to set that up as well: openbsd-ansible-init.
