Friendica Ansible Setup

This Ansible playbook automates the installation and configuration of a self‑hosted Friendica social network server.
Friendica is a decentralized, federated social networking platform that gives you full control over your data.

The playbook sets up Friendica along with all required components:

  • Web server (Nginx)
  • PHP‑FPM and required PHP modules
  • Database (MariaDB)
  • Local SMTP relay (Postfix) for outgoing email
  • Optional security tools (Fail2ban, Logrotate)

Self‑Hosting

With this playbook, you can host Friendica on your own server, creating an independent, secure, and private social network instance.
It is aimed at users with basic knowledge of server administration and Ansible.
