With respect to ansible, I've been thinking of managing my laptop using just ansible to install new packages, and update configuration (apache, sshd and so on). Kinda like chef-solo, but using ansible. Has anyone done anything like that?

I use this[0] playbook to update my packages daily on my DigitalOcean machines.
