Ansible role for managing Advanced Intrusion Detection Environment (AIDE).
This is an ansible role that installs and configures the [Advanced Intrusion Detection Environment (AIDE)](https://aide.github.io). For Day 2 tasks it can run integrity checks and update the AIDE database.

## What does this role do for you?

* It ensures that the `aide` package is installed on the remote nodes
* As an optional task it can generate the `/etc/aide.conf` file and template it out to the remote nodes
* It initializes the AIDE database
* The AIDE databases from the remote nodes are stored in a central directory on the controller node
* It runs AIDE integrity checks on the remote nodes
* It updates the AIDE databases and stores them on the controller node

## What does this role not do for you?

* It does not explain how to create a good AIDE configuration that suits your requirements; that task remains for you to accomplish

## Requirements

Any prerequisites that may not be covered by Ansible itself or the role should
be mentioned here. This includes platform dependencies not managed by the
role, hardware requirements, external collections, etc. There should be a
distinction between *control node* requirements (like collections) and
*managed node* requirements (like special hardware, platform provisioning).
This role has no special requirements as it uses `ansible.builtin` modules
only.

## Role Variables

### aide_db_template

### Collection requirements
This variable takes a string to specify a path where the custom template for aide.conf is located.

For instance, if the role depends on some collections and has a
`meta/collection-requirements.yml` file for installing those dependencies, and
in order to manage `rpm-ostree` systems, it should be mentioned here that the
user should run
To be sure that everething is correct, template needs to start with following snippet:

```bash
ansible-galaxy collection install -vv -r meta/collection-requirements.yml
``` jinja
{{ ansible_managed | comment }}
{{ "system_role:aide" | comment(prefix="", postfix="") }}
```

on the *control node* before using the role.
Default: `null`

## Role Variables
Type: `string`

A description of all input variables (i.e. variables that are defined in
`defaults/main.yml`) for the role should go here as these form an API of the
role. Each variable should have its own section e.g.
### aide_db_fetch_dir

### aide_foo
This variable takes a string to specify the directory on the Ansible Control
Node (ACN) where the role will store the AIDE database fetched from the remote
nodes. The default value is `files` which is expected to be a directory in the
same directory as the playbook.

This variable is required. It is a string that lists the foo of the role.
There is no default value.
In case you like to store the fetched AIDE database files somewhere else you
need to specify a different path here.

### aide_bar
Default: `files`

This variable is optional. It is a boolean that tells the role to disable bar.
The default value is `true`.
Type: `string

Variables that are not intended as input, like variables defined in
`vars/main.yml`, variables that are read from other roles and/or the global
scope (ie. hostvars, group vars, etc.) can be also mentioned here but keep in
mind that as these are probably not part of the role API they may change during
the lifetime.
### aide_init

Example of setting the variables:
Initializes the AIDE database.

```yaml
aide_foo: "oof"
aide_bar: false
```
Default: `false`

## Variables Exported by the Role
Type: `bool`

This section is optional. Some roles may export variables for playbooks to
use later. These are analogous to "return values" in Ansible modules. For
example, if a role performs some action that will require a system reboot, but
the user wants to defer the reboot, the role might set a variable like
`aide_reboot_needed: true` that the playbook can use to reboot at a more
convenient time.
### aide_fetch_db

Example:
Fetches database from the remote nodes to store it on the controller node

### aide_reboot_needed
Default: `false`

Default `false` - if `true`, this means a reboot is needed to apply the changes
made by the role
Type: `bool`

### aide_check

Runs an integrity check on the remote nodes

Default: `false`

Type: `bool`

### aide_update

Updates the AIDE database and stores it on the controller node

Default: `false`

Type: `bool`

## Example Playbook

Including an example of how to use your role (for instance, with variables
passed in as parameters) is always nice for users too:

```yaml
- name: Manage the aide subsystem
hosts: all
vars:
aide_foo: "foo foo!"
aide_bar: false
roles:
- linux-system-roles.aide
# SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
---
- name: Example aide role invocation
hosts: targets
tasks:
- name: Include role aide
vars:
aide_db_fetch_dir: files
aide_install: true
aide_generate_config: true
aide_init: true
aide_check: false
aide_update: false
ansible.builtin.include_role:
name: linux-system-roles.aide
```

More examples can be provided in the [`examples/`](examples) directory. These
can be useful, especially for documentation.
