ansible-desktop

Setting up the local desktop (Ubuntu) using Ansible.

This project is for managing an Ubuntu desktop machine using Ansible. The Ansible playbook is applied locally; as you would usually be logged in to a desktop.

Install Ansible

sudo apt install software-properties-common sudo apt install ansible

Preparation

Copy inventory-template.yml to inventory.yml

Add your machines. For simplicity machines are added to the existing groups 'laptop' and 'server'.

Edit main.yml (project root) to add roles to hosts and groups from the inventory.

Ansible Galaxy

Install collections FIXME: Add the collection to requirements.yml

ansible-galaxy collection install ansible.posix

In case you use roles that are not part of this project but hosted on github you will need to add those external requirements to requirements.yml and install them.

ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml

Apply (run) the playbook

The assumption here is that you check out the project and apply to a local machine.

  • We use connection=local which will disable ssh execution.
  • By limiting (--limit hostname) we make sure to apply only to the current host.
ansible-playbook main.yml --ask-become-pass --limit `hostname` --inventory inventory.yml
