Motivation

There is a need for some of our servers to connect to other IPv6-only hosts. Since this is not always possible without introducing major painpoints elsewhere, we simply create an internal WireGuard network so that the machines in question can communicate securely using IPv4.

Install

Clone the repo

git clone --recurse-submodules git@git.fsfe.org:fsfe-system-hackers/innernet-playbook.git
cd innernet-playbook

Build binaries from submodule at `./innernet-src`

Since innernet is new software, it is not yet included in the Debian repositories. Thus, before running the playbook we need to build the innernet and innernet-server binaries. At the moment, we are using v1.5.1, but you can choose any other available version by setting the environment variable accordingly.

INNERNET_VERSION=v1.5.1 ./build-binaries.sh

Run the playbook

ansible-playbook playbook.yml

Distribute the invitation files

Some invitation files are for humans, so you need to send these files to them securely. I suggest using someting like wormohle.

sudo apt install magic-wormhole
cd roles/client/files
wormhole send <name_of_peer>.toml
