Ansible Playbook

🎩 Inspired by The Primeagen

This playbook is to help bootstrap a new dev env quickly. For now, it presumes MacOS for a lot of the tasks.

If I start using linux regularly again, it's possible that I make duplicate tasks for some things based on OS (e.g. using brew vs apt-get for package mgmt).

Prerequisites

Install ansible:

brew install ansible

Install the ansible homebrew galaxy:

ansible-galaxy collection install community.general

Execution

You can execute this playbook by:

ansible-playbook [-t some_tag_here] [flags] local.yml

For example:

• to see all possible tags:
  • ansible-playbook --list-tags local.yml
• to see all tasks for a given tag (without execution):
  • ansible-playbook -t install --list-tasks local.yml
• to get verbose output use -v[vvvvv] (max of 6 vs)
  • ansible-playbook -t install --list-tasks -vvv local.yml
• to install ssh keys (presume you're me or you've forked and added your own encrypted files)
  • ansible-playbook -t ssh local.yml --ask-vault-pass
