An ansible role to automate deployment of Terraria on linux hosts

Configures:

• a service user
• start scripts (executed in a screen session)
• save scripts (executed every 30 minutes)
• backups (rotated every 720 minutes by default)

• Linux target (this has been tested against Ubuntu 16.04 LTS)
• Ansible version 2.4.2.0 (others may work, but this version was used for testing)

You must define the version to deploy as this will obtained from the server file mirror.

terraria_version: 1353

Check out the Getting Started page for Terraria server-specific variables for a common use case (single server, single instance)

Documentation on all variables can be found in the wiki

Calling the role with minimum required terraria_version and a few configured values, relying on defaults for everything else.
