Ansible to provision my workstation

Ansible Project: Workstation

"Weapons of War"

Prerequisites

• Linux Machine (x86-64)
• Python 3

Note: Ansible not required initially.

Quickstart

1. Ensure you have met the above prerequisites, if not the controller role should prompt you for what needs installing.

2. Create an env/ folder for your $(hostname), you can copy an existing one or create a new one. It needs to have the following structure:

   env/
     |_ group_vars/
     |    |_ all.yml
     |
     |_ inventory.yml
   

3. Set your inventory to connect locally, a template example is as follows:

   ---
   
   all:
     hosts:
       localhost:
         ansible_connection: local
         ansible_python_interpreter: "{{ ansible_playbook_python }}"
   
   workstation:
     hosts:
       localhost:

4. Ensure you configure the variables for each role in env/$(hostname)/group_vars/all.yml to meet your needs.

5. You may fire when ready: ./bootstrap.sh

   • This will create a temporary virtualenv with the latest Ansible installed.
   • This repository will be configured with all the roles requested.
   • Each role will be run to acheive the desired outcome.
