• I have summed up the feature in concise words in the Summary section.
• I have completely described the feature in the Description section.

Summary

We should maintain a script that can be used to deploy the aurweb tree to a bare metal system. We're currently doing this through Docker, but, aur.archlinux.org does not use Docker nor should we require Docker for ease-of-use.

Description

Our process, roughly:

• Pacman dependency installation (this may want to be omitted when used through ansible).
• Poetry project installation
• Translation compilation
• Setup AUR git repository if it does not yet exist
  • Also, setup a hooks/update wrapper which calls aurweb-git-update via poetry run.
• Update config.defaults
  • We should require that the deploy target has a valid $AUR_CONFIG, which should probably be defaulted to /etc/aurweb/config.
• Configure sshd, update aurweb-git-auth wrapper
• Restart sshd.service
• Restart redis.service
• Restart mariadb.service and create user 'aur'@'localhost' with the right DB if it doesn't exist.
• Create aurweb.service which launches aurweb asgi via aurweb.spawn or gunicorn.
  • See docker/scripts/run-fastapi.sh
• Produce nginx config to be used with deployment
  • Restart nginx.service

The aur.archlinux.org ansible playbook is located at https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/infrastructure/-/blob/master/playbooks/aur.archlinux.org.yml and we should produce merge requests to update it as needed.
