This is cool. I've dabbled with Ansible for managing smallish projects like this but have never quite committed fully to it to get the full benefits.
I think part of the issue may be that because I'm not using Ansible every day, whenever I come back to it there is a bit of context that I need to reload into my brain to get back up to speed... I guess that could be a sign that the tool is too heavy for my use case perhaps.
I have a bunch of provisioning shell scripts that I do seem to find a bit less abstract and easier to manage. In fact I need to use one today to renew my home lab wildcard SSL domain certificate and push it to my various local systems.
- zellyn 5y agoI was checking out Ansible for my Raspberry Pis, but settled on bundlewrap.org eventually: much lower barrier to entry. (Also much simpler, but that's ok with me.)
- tailspin2019 5y agoBundleWrap looks very cool. I have a number of potential uses for that in mind already.
