This is a collection of ansible roles that I use for Orange Pi 5 SBC running Armbian Linux. Since Orange Pi 5 is under heavy development and it is WIP/bleeding edge, then re-installing the OS to test latest builds became tedious and needed to be automated.
Use at your own risk. I am not responsible for any damage resulting in the usage of this repository.
If you want to help create a fork, PR or issue if you wish. I am doing this as a hobby, so don't have too high excpectations.
- Install Orange Pi 5 jammy/legacy/minimal armbian linux from trunk builds
- Complete the first boot setup of armbian (set your root password, normal user with password, build locale, network connection etc...)
- Have SSH access to Your orange Pi 5 SBC or keyboard and screen connected to it
- I have not tested with xfce image, but I think it should work too
#Login to your SBC over SSH or use it's keyboard and screen directly on the device
ssh <your regular user>@<Your Orange Pi 5 IP address>
#Install needed tools to use ansible, git and vim(you can use nano or something else too)
sudo apt install -y git ansible vim
#Clone this repo and go to it's directory
git clone https://github.com/martivo/armbian-orange-pi-5-ansible.git
cd armbian-orange-pi-5-ansible
#Create configuration files
cp site.example.yml site.yml
cp inventory.example-local.yml inventory.yml
#Edit site.yml to your needs. Read **About roles and variables** below for more info.
vim site.yml
#Edit inventory.yml to fit your setup. Read **About roles and variables** below for more info.
vim inventory.yml
#Run ansible
ansible-playbook site.yml
#Optional, reboot the SBC
#Install needed tools to use ansible and git
sudo apt install -y git ansible
#Clone this repo and go to it's directory

ansible-playbook --ask-pass site.yml
#Optional, reboot the SBC
- If the roles purpose is unclear, then check what they do from the source code
- Some roles are dependnet on others, see About roles and variables
- I have not created hooks, since a "reboot" after the play is expected
