question: did you try the playbook on a Mint?

Yes, i did try, and it failed. Sorry i can't remember the exact error.

I use a lot distro dependent tasks and rely on the ansible fact variables: https://github.com/ReinerNippes/nextcloud_on_docker/blob/d2b93016275ff3e4f321179a6833fef020d5a754/roles/prep_os/tasks/main.yml#L5 you may run https://github.com/ReinerNippes/ansible_var_dump on your Mint machine and look for the value of ansible_distribution or ansible_distribution_release.

if ansible_distribution is set to Mint there is no file Mint.yml in https://github.com/ReinerNippes/nextcloud_on_docker/tree/master/roles/prep_os/tasks and the playbook will fail.

  1. just copy all Ubuntu.yml files to Mint.yml in all tasks folder where you find a Ubuntu.yml file.
  2. check if the additonal repos work for Mint. e.g. https://github.com/ReinerNippes/nextcloud_on_docker/blob/d2b93016275ff3e4f321179a6833fef020d5a754/roles/prep_docker/tasks/Ubuntu.yml#L34

or you cold define the variables in the inventory and cheat

ansible_distribution = Ubuntu

I couldn't find a Mint image at AWS so I can't really test it.

Thank you! I will try it.
