ansible

Getting real with system management via ansible-pull.

Disclaimer

This setup is specific tom the maintainer's devices and needs. You're welcome to use it as an example for your needs, but do not expect it to work as-is.

Currently Supported Linux Systems

Debian Family

Debian

But only if using a recent enough version of Ansible. pip likely has a better version than apt.

Ubuntu

100%

Pop!_OS

100%

Mint

But not really used, just tested once for fun.

Parrot Security OS (MATE)

Still testing, but so far so good!

Arch Family

Manjaro

100% at some point.

Currently Supported Unix Systems

FreeBSD

100% but untested since 12.1. Software choices are slightly more limited since not flatpak-enabled.

Waiting To Be Tested

FreeBSD 13

Kali Linux

Arch Linux ARM

Specifically for the Pinephone.

Arch Linux x86

Would be great to have Arch get built up by this. Used for many years but left after update problems due to a long computer hiatus.

Next Steps

Eventually some of the scripts and install files will be put into the files folder. This will allow initializing systems outside of the maintainer's home network.

There may also be a refactor of task-specific facts to be in their task file so that some playbooks can be more self-sufficient and be provided to the community without hacking. The original goal was to never define facts in tasks, but the benefit has yet to be seen for some tasks. Shared facts will definitely continue to exist under the facts tree.
