Ansible configuration for the Netz39 infrastructure

There seem to be compatibility issues with container updates within the same tag. These updates happen every time we run Ansible and are usually desired, as they can fix security issues (esp. in the base image). However, if the update cannot be trusted to run without manual intervention, we have to pin the version and check for updates manually. |

HTTPS ingress configuration
HTTPS ingress is controlled by the server holmium and forwarded to the configured servers.
To set up a new HTTPS vhost, the following steps need to be taken:
- Select a domain (for internal services we use sub-domains of
.n39.eu). - Create an external CNAME from this domain to
dyndns.n39.eu. - Create an internal DNS entry in the Descartes DNS config. This is usually an alias on an existing server.
- Add the entry to the holmium playbook.
- Set up Dehydrated and vhost on the target host, e.g. using
setup_http_site_proxy.
Do not forget to execute all playbooks with relevant changes.
