Its disks were migrated to a new server (prompted by an unsolvable issue
with the previous box's network interface; might have been a mobo issue).

For some workloads running in a container is too restrictive, ex:
arch-boxes (loop device, filesystem mount, pacstrap) and archiso
(pacstrap). Currently they both run a TCG accelerated QEMU VM, which is
very slow and painful to work with. We should provide a better option to
our users!

This adds a hardware accelerated VM for this kinds of workloads, which
is way faster and you can do whatever you like (mostly)!

Fix #283

We took it out of Geo duties two months ago, but it's still offline and
it gets annoying having to exclude it from all Ansible executions we do.

Also tweak the documentation on rebuilderd workers and add runner1.

asia.mirror.pkgbuild.com has been offline for 12 days so far while we
wait for a NIC replacement. Should have taken it out of DNS NS duties
earlier but better late than never.

We want to migrate to mailman3 as mailman2 is basically unmaintained and
requires Python 2 which is EOL.

Because the mailman and mailman3 packages conflict and we don't want to
perform a big bang migration, mailman3 must be deployed on a separate
server. mailman-web (mailman3's web interface) hasn't been packaged yet,
so for now we are using my homebrewed PKGBUILD[1].

Ref #59

We make almost no use of the dynamic properties of the hcloud inventory,
so we can simplify this by declaring all cloud servers in the main hosts
inventory.

The main benefit of this change is that temporary and experimental cloud
servers are not automatically included in the Ansible playbooks. In such
cases it is usually incorrect to deploy changes to these unknown servers.

A smaller side benefit is that Ansible will now use hostnames to connect
to cloud servers, whereas the dynamic inventory provided IPv4 addresses.
This results in more meaningful ~/.ssh/known_hosts entries.

All servers are part of these groups which makes them redundant.

Also alphabetically sort the servers in this group.

We had a GeoIP mirror in the past based on nginx and its GeoIP module,
but it didn't perform very well, due to the high latency (asking a
central server for the package and then redirected to the closest
mirror).

One of the reasons for offering this service, is so we can relieve
mirror.pkgbuild.com which is burning a ton of traffic (50TB/month),
likely due to it being the default mirror in our Docker image. Another
reason is so we can offer a link to our arch-boxes images in libosinfo
(used by gnome-boxes, virt-install and virt-manager), with good enough
performance for most users.

This time we take a different approach and use a DNS based solution,
which means the latency penalty is only paid once (the first DNS
request). The downside is that the mirrors must have a valid certificate
for the same domain name, which makes using third-party mirrors a
challenge. So for now, we are just using the sponsored mirorrs
controlled by the DevOps team.

Fix #101

With the PHP->Python port done[1][2], there isn't much need for aur-dev
anynmore. Most things can also be tested locally and aur-dev haven't got
any love since the port (ex: allowing the aurweb maintainers to deploy
without asking DevOps).

Indirect way to get "configure_network: true".

These are managed services and Ansible doesn't run on them. It got
boring writing 'all,!rsync_net,!hetzner_storageboxes' in playbooks
and ad-hoc commands, so remove these borg hosts from our inventory.

Collects the smart data using smartctl and outputs them in the
textcollector dir. This expects smartd to be configured to regularly
self tests on a regular interval to detect if a disk is broken.

We sadly run all that stuff in docker now.

New username; separate and longer account manager + storage passwords.

Also, have to use --remote-path=borg1 when interacting with rsync.net.

This is meant as a internal authenticated and encrypted network which we
can use for internal services, we don't want to expose to the internet
or when encryption is desired but not easily implementable.

This is initial to be used for communicating between
{lists,mailman3}.archlinux.org as mailman{2,3} can't run on the same
server.

nginx, certbot, postfix and mailman are still missing and the DNS is

I think this is all that is missing to actually start monitoring
man.archlinux.org.

This adds a collaborative markdown editor as newly offered service which
is available via login for all Arch Linux Staff with an option to allow
anonymous edits by users (not default). Users are managed via keycloak
and require the Staff role to be allowed in, non staff keycloak users
currently will receive an internal server error due to an upstream
issue.

Closes: #231

Remove apollo from hosts.

Added security.archlinux.org to the relevant groups on hosts and created a host_vars
so we can run the all-hosts-basic.
