-2. [64-bit Debian 7](http://www.debian.org/) or an equivalent Linux distribution. (You can use whatever distro you want, but deviating from Debian will require more tweaks to the playbooks. See Ansible’s different [packaging](http://www.ansibleworks.com/docs/modules.html#packaging) modules.)

4. A [Tarsnap](http://www.tarsnap.com) account with some credit in it. You could comment this out if you want to use a different backup service. Consider paying your hosting provider for backups or using an additional backup service for redundancy.
