I tried to automate my most recent Ubuntu PC using this Ansible playbook as a starting point: - https://github.com/lvancrayelynghe/ansible-ubuntu https://github.com/lvancrayelynghe/ansible-ubuntu It has some bells and whistles I stripped out (or wished I did). One of the problems I haven't really solved: ongoing updates. Say I need to install a new apt package. Do I update the Ansible playbook and rerun it? I probably should. But more often, I just install it from the command line. Now my image is out of sync. Also certain applications like Jenkins seems surprisingly hostile towards reproducible builds.
